Mixed Nut Chikki |
Mixed nuts chopped into small pieces-1 cup
(I used pistachio,almonds,cashew nut.Slightly warm them in a kadai)
Sugar-3/4 cup
Ghee-3tsp
Method
Grease a rolling pin & a wooden board & keep it ready.
Heat the ghee in a kadai,add the sugar.In a medium heat cook the sugar till it melts & starts to caramelize till light honey colour.
Immediately add the chopped nuts,mix it well & switch off the stove.Quickly pour it on a wooden board & spread it well with a rolling pin( You have to be quick here otherwise it will harden ).

ReplyDeleteA knife is probably one very important tool in the kitchen. Cooks and chefs alike will never disagree with this fact. Every household doesn't only have one knife but several of them. Most chefs have in their possession about 7 to 15 kinds of knives or maybe more. There are several factors to consider when purchasing a knife, the features, the size and the make. Knife for sale
