KAJU PISTA ROLL

Preparation Method :

• Blanch the pistachios in hot water for 5 minutes. Drain, peel and grind coarsely.
• Heat a pan, add khoya, stirring continuously, for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Add the cashew nut powder and sugar, and knead to a smooth mixture.
• Divide the mixture into two equal parts. To one part add the coarsely powdered pistachios and cardamom powder.
• Take half the plain cashew nut mixture and roll it into a four-by-five-inch rectangle.
• Take half a portion of the pistachio mixture and roll it into a five-inch long cylinder. Place it at one end of the cashew nut rectangle and roll up the cashew sheet enclosing the pistachio roll.
• Use the remaining cashew nut and pistachio mixtures to make a similar roll.
• Gently press silver foil on the rolls. Cut into two-inch pieces and serve.
