How to make Kaju Katli | Cashew Burfi | Cashew Fudge Recipe Sometime in October last year, just ahead of Diwali, we bumped into my husband's close family friend at a mall one evening.

How to make Mawa Gujiya, Karanji, Karjikai, Kajjkayalu I did intend to post this recipe for Diwali, ideally 2 days before the festival when I made them at home.
