1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup powdered cashewnuts (kaju)
1/4 tsp. cardamom (elaichi) powder
A few saffron (kesar) strands
Other ingredients
Ghee for greasing
For the garnish
Pistachio slivers

INSTRUCTIONS

• Combine the pineapple puree and sugar in a pan and cook on a very slow flame till the sugar has dissolved while stirring continuously.
• Add the cashewnuts, cardamom powder and saffron. Continue cooking till the mixture leaves the sides of the pan, while stirring continuously. This will take approximately 5 to 7 minutes. If the katli is very sticky, cook for a further 2 to 3 minutes.
• Pour the mixture onto a greased surface. Roll out into a 100 mm. x 100 mm. (4" x 4") square.
• Decorate with the slivered pistachios and cut into 25 mm. x 25 mm. (1" x 1") squares. Allow it to cool completely.
