Bellam Jalebi ~~ Jaggery Jalebi

Jalebi has been mine and my mom's all time favorite sweet. In most parts of the India fried jalebi is dipped in sugar syrup. In very few places it is dipped in Jaggery syrup. Unlike sugar, jaggery is rich in minerals specially iron. Me along with  my mom and sisters used to visit my Grandma's place during summer vacation. Grandma or my mom used to get this sweet from a roadside sweet shops, which are very popular  for sweets and snacks specially Kaaja and Jaggery Jalebi.

Kaju Katli also known as Kaju burfi is an Indian dessert made of Cashew nuts and sugar. Kaju Katli  has been in my to do list for a quite some time. Finally I made it for this Diwali. Diamond sweet is one of   my son's favorite sweet, yes " Diamond Sweet " that is what he calls it. The texture was't that smooth that we get in market but the taste was awesome.  Typically, Cashew nuts are soaked in water overnight then ground it into paste and added to sugar syrup to make a smooth dough.
