This is an Indian confection that's often depicted in pictures of Hanuman and Ganesh. These are made very sweet in India, but I've decreased the amount of sugar and added a dash of rock salt to better suit a Japanese taste.For some reason, they go very well with very sweet chai.It will taste more genuine if you make your own cardamon powder by grinding whole green cardamons (shelled) with a mortar and pestle.You can get besan (gram flour) from Indian grocery stores. Apart from this dish, it is used for dishes like pakora (Indian fried vegetables). Recipe by Go-pa-ra

Kaju Peda - Indian Sweet Kaju Peda - Indian Sweet
Sweets are very important in every Indian celebration and festivals are never complete without them. Sweets can be made the traditional way which will be time consuming and tedious or quickly using readily available items like milk powders and condensed milk. Such short cuts do make the sweets delicious, but the true mouth watering taste of sweets are best known when made the traditional manner. Also there won't be any preservatives and other chemicals when we make it from scratch. Most of the Indian sweets are simple using basic ingredients available at home. So do try it.
