Tried and tasted by Nivedita
Hi All,
Usually we make with other ingredients also such as, roasted peanuts, Dalia, kurmura, til....
But this Varo is special and everyone waits to tastes it.
Ingredients:
Mixed Nuts - 1 cup(I took almonds and cashew nuts only)
Sliced dry coconut - 2 tbsp
Sugar - 1 cup
Cardamom powder - 1tsp
Poppy seeds - 2 tbsp
Ghee - 1 tbsp
Vessels to make:
Thick bottomed kadai,
Big, wide steel plate or rolling board(greased)
Rolling pin
Method:
1. Cut or slice the nuts into small pieces.
2. Keep everything ready near the gas stove as you should be quick at the end.
3. Heat ghee and sugar and on low heat.
4. Wait till it melts and gets caramelized. Be patient as it needs more time(almost 10 to 15 minutes)
5. Once it is light brown, add mixed nuts, poppy seeds and cardamom powder.
6. Mix well to get the nuts properly coated.
7. Now, be quick and pour this on rolling board or steel and immediately roll it to make thick circle.
8. Here, if you are late, you are out of challenge!! Because the mixture gets hard very fast.
9. Wait till the Varo is cool.
10. Break into pieces and store in a airtight jar.
Keep Smiling,
