Allergy Advice

This recipe contains Tree Nuts. People with such allergies should avoid adding such ingredients or try to replace them with better choices.

Ingredients

2

1 cup Tender cashew nuts

1 tablespoon Ghee

half cup Fresh grated coconut

half cup Jaggery

1 teaspoon Cardamom powder

Tips

Adjust the sweetness according to your preference by adding more or less jaggery.

Directions

Begin by soaking 1 cup of tender cashew nuts in hot water for about 30 minutes. Once soaked, drain the water and peel the outer skin off the cashews.

In a pan, add 1 tablespoon of ghee and let it melt over medium heat.

Add the tender cashew nuts to the melted ghee and roast them for a few minutes until they turn light golden.

Next, add 0.5 cup of grated fresh coconut and 0.5 cup of grated jaggery to the pan. Mix well until the jaggery begins to melt and the ingredients are well combined.

Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of cardamom powder over the mixture and stir well.

Continue cooking the mixture for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. The mixture should thicken and come together.

Once the mixture is cooked and thickened, remove from heat and serve the Kaju Mhovla warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!

Notes

Individuals with nut allergies should avoid this recipe due to the cashews.

Those with specific dietary restrictions such as low-sugar diets may want to limit jaggery intake.
