India is a country of festivals and Raksha Bandhan is a one of the big festival of India. It is a festival of brother ad sisters. There is no any festival complete without dessert and specially on this festival I prepare Kaju Katli (Cashew nut fudge) every year. There is a say that "practice makes a man perfect". So every time I prepare it I learn something new, and it improves. I can say it was the best I prepared till now.
Today I would like to share how I prepared it and let me know in the comments how it is looking in the photographs!
It is just a 2 ingredients dessert and so easy to prepare.

Procedure
- Soak cashew nuts for an hour.
- Drain water and make paste in grinder.
- In a non-stick pan or heavy bottom pan, heat the paste on low flame with continuous mixing.
