HI
Srivalli challenged us to make VARO for this months ICC. We were given two recipes and i chose to follow this recipe from Simply Sindhi Recipes.This reminded me of the peanut chikki which my mother would make:-)
The original recipe is here
INGREDIENTS
Mixed nuts( Almonds, Pistachios, Cashew) 1 Cup
Sugar 1 Cup
Khus Khus 2 tbsp
Ghee 1 tbsp
Cardamom few
PREPARATION
Slice the mixed nuts
Powder the cardamom finely
In a heavy bottom pan add the sugar and ghee. Keep the flame at low and let the sugar melt
When the sugar has melted fully and caramelized to a light brown colour, add the nuts and the powdered cardamom
Switch off the flame and mix it thouroughly so that the caramel coats all the nuts evenly
Pour this mixture onto a greased rolling board and pat it flat with the back of the ladle or a rolling pin
When it is completely cool, break into pieces.
( I made slight marks with the knife when it was still warm, and i was able to cut into almost even pieces:-)
