Colorful cashew Rolls.

I will never go wrong with this burfi not only because its so easy but also for the fact that its yummy, delicious and a sweet with richness.

Ingredients:
1. Unsalted Cashews - 400 grams
2. Sugar  - 200 grams
3. Strawberry - About 6 or 7
4. Badam milk powder - 2 tbsp

Optional : Pistachios, Walnuts.

Method.
Grind the cashew into fine powder and pour it into a bowl.
Cut strawberries and add 2 tbsp of sugar. Make a puree of it and keep it aside.[Do not add water to make the puree]
Mix the remaining sugar to the powdered cashew.
On a double boiler system place this bowl with the cashew sugar mixture.
Slowly the sugar melts and mixes with the cashew making a fine paste.
When the mixtures leaves the sides of the bowl thats when you make three equal portions of the mixture.
For the first part of the mixture add the strawberry puree. Keep stirring till this gels well with the cashew-sugar dough.
To another part add badam powder and a little of kesar color to make it attractive. I did not add enough color so it wasn't clear to distinguish between layers.[However the taste doesn't get harmed though]
Once you have three different dough portions, firstly make a chapati of the plain cashew dough.
Sprinkle pistachios or walnuts over this layer. Make the next chapati of the same size from the badam-cashew dough and place over the first layer. You can sprinkle yet another layer of nuts. Finally make a chapati of the strawberry-cashew layer and place over the other two layers. Roll them to a cylinder and cut them into small rounds.

Simple and easy Cashew burfis are ready!

Some calories for a feast is definitely not a sin. Have some and enjoy. This whole exercise of making the burfi took the entire lady battalion of the house into a sense of amusement and it was ready within 30 min of time. New variety and festive mood combo made this sweet dish a little more sweeter.
