Kaju Pista Katli

KAJU PISTA KATLI
Hi all,Good to start the day with a sweet. I was having this kova in my stock for a week now. I was just confused about what to prepare. O yeah, weekend was approaching and can expect few guests home.So was able to prepare the microwave version of this sweet.I have also mention how to make this sweet for those who dont have a microwave.
This recipe took a very little time and o man.. was tasty too!!!!
As this was my first trial using my own imagination, I was not sure how the stuffing thing would work out, but tasted good though Im sure that the presentation and the right filling part is missing from my end.. ya ya needs correction, But this is the first time please excuse.


Ingredients:
Sweetless kova/mava - 200 gms
sugar (powdered) - 1 cup
ghee - 2 tbsp
Cashew nut powder - 1/2 cup
pista powder - 1/2 cup
cardamom powder - 1 tsp
green apple colour - 1 pinch
pineapple yellow colour - 1 pinch


Method using Microwave:
- add kova, ghee in a microwave safe bowl.
- microwave at high (mine being 800W, thats HIGH) for 2 min
- now remove mix well
- add the sugar and cardamom powder
- mix and microwave again for 2 more mins
- now remove half of the portion and add cashew nut powder and the yellow colour to one portion of the mava
- sugar mixture
- mix well and microwave for 3 mins
- remove and cool
- to the other half , add the pista powder and the green colour, mix well and microwave for 3 mins and remove
- allow it to cool
- when cooled make balls in both the colour
- roll one colour being the base and stuff the other colour ball on the base and close it
- do that for vice versa colours.
- now the cashew nut being either inside or outside filling gives a different flavour and colour than whats the other one

Method using stove:
- add kova, ghee and sugar in a pan
- keep stirring until the ghee seperates
- add the cardamom powder and then mix well
- divide the kova mixture into two
- take one part of the mixture, add cashew nut powder and yellow colour
- keep it on the stove and stir until it forms a ball
- remove and leave it aside
- now add the green colour and the pista powder to the other half
- keep stirring until it forms the ball
- when cooled make balls in both the colour
- roll one colour being the base and stuff the other colour ball on the base and close it
- do that for vice versa colours

- now the cashew nut being either inside or outside filling gives a different flavour and colour than whats the other one

- SERVE
