Kau Katli or Cashew Fudge (Vegan)

Ingredients:
nuts, cashew nuts, raw
sugars, powdered
spices, saffron
spices, cardamom

Directions:
1.
Soak cashews in water for 30 minutes.
Measure out the powdered sugar and whisk, breaking up any lumps.
2.
Grind cashews to a very fine and smooth paste, adding a sprinkling of water as needed.
3.
Place ground cashew paste and powdered sugar in a nonstick pan.
Mix well.
4.
Heat the mixture over low-medium heat and stir.
Add saffron and cardamom powder; mix well.
5.
Keep stirring for 710 minutes, till the mixture thickens and starts pulling away from the sides of the pan.
Scrape the edges while stirring.
6.
Once the mixture forms a lump and gathers in the center, pinch off a very small amount and make a ball with your fingers.
If you are able to form a ball, then it is the correct consistency.
Switch off the flame and let the mixture cool for a while.
7.
Once the mixture is just warm to touch, knead into a very soft dough.
8.
Roll the dough into a 1/4-inch-thick circle and make diamond-shaped pieces.
9.
Allow the pieces to set for 10 minutes.
Store in an airtight container.
