Indian dessert recipes are known for their flavour, taste and creamy richness it has to offer.

While using those produces some of the best Indian sweets, but can be an expensive matter. I personally prefer simple and easy-to-prepare sweets. So I am presenting one of the simple, easy and more importantly thrifty Indian sweet recipes. Basically, I have prepared a katli sweet with peanuts, but not with cashews. Trust me, you would not be easily identified if it is prepared with cashews or peanuts just by taste.

Firstly, the peanuts have to be fresh and make sure it is of the best quality. Typically, stale peanuts may have some awful taste which may spoil the entire sweet taste. Therefore, check the expiry date before purchasing it from the grocery store. Secondly, I roasted the peanuts in slow to medium flame. This is an essential and important step, which should negate the raw smell and flavour of peanuts. Alternatively, you can purchase roasted peanuts from the store to hasten the cooking time. Lastly, I have applied silver vark or foil to get an authentic look. However, it is not mandatory and can be skipped if you do not have it.
