What is Katli Panjiri Burfee?
One or two nut concoctions are normally called Katli or Burfee. Concoctions with several types of nuts and seeds are called Panjiri.
The cooking method is similar to Brittle (Chikki). In the olden days raw cane sugar was used. Now a days, it is made with sugar. In India glucose liquid is added to control crystallization. In United States, we can substitute it with corn syrup.
Step 1. Roast nuts
Step 2. Add salt to the roasted nuts
Step 3. Prepare Sugar syrup of one thread (224º F) consistency.
Normally, the syrup is made with jaggery. You may use Table sugar for lighter color fudge. If you use sugar, add Glucose syrup such as Corn syrup to control crystallization.
Step 4: Stir in Ghee
This gives the Katli a softer texture.
Step 5: Add roasted nuts and seed.
Cool it down to about 150º F. This will allow you to hand mix and even knead the mixture.
Step 6: Add Flavoring agents
Common flavoring agent is cardamom. For postnatal concoctions, dried ginger is used. You may even experiment with Cayenne pepper and Cinnamon. Lay it out in a greased pan about ¼" thick. Cut in to diamond shapes
Step 6: Let it cool. Store in refrigerator.
