Food blogger and Rediff reader Meera S shares this recipe of Kaju ni Puri.
Kaju ni Puri - (18 pieces)
Butterless, Flourless Cashew Cookies
Ingredients
Method
1. Preheat oven 350 F
2. Powder the cashews without turning them into butter.
3. Take the cashew powder in a deep, big plate. Add sugar, cardamom powder, saffron threads. Using milk as needed - just a spoonful at a time, knead to a dough.
4. Make 18 or so balls. Flatten them with your hand like small puries as shown below
5. Bake on a cookie sheet for 15 minutes.
6. Let the cookies cool down. Store in an airtight container.
Note -
1. Since cashews or all nuts have oil, it helps to bind the dough. So use milk very carefully.
2. Use a nonstick aluminum foil for baking.
3. Depending on the size of the puris, the count will vary. I got 18 puris or cookies from this recipe. Remember to make small puris as they expand after baking.
4. You can crush the cardamom seeds coarsely instead of powdering.
