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.

Festival season is going on and we are busy making sweets and snacks for our family and friends. Navratri / Dasara just ended, and up next is Diwali. Diwali is one of mine and  most of their favorite festival. I love to decorate the house inside and out  with lots of lamps and flowers. Cook different types of sweets and snacks. Wish my family and friends and distribute the treats. My kids love to light lamps and play with fire crackers.  For this festival I have tried a crunchy and nutty boondi mixture, which is spicy and garlicky.
