Jeedipappu Pakam:
Kaaju Chikki. Munthiri paruppu Burfi. Jeedipappu Chikki.
Hyderabad, legendary sweet shop ‘G.Pulla Reddy’s special Jeedi pappu Pakam’!!! No one would have missed it at Hyderabad!! My friend Kranthi introduced me to this sweet! Myself and my friend Balaji used to stop at this shop…before leaving home(Tamil Nadu)! I never failed to carry this awesome sweet. One important thing about ‘Pulla Reddy is, he started his life from zero, started as a street vendor. Few wise words about his product: they were pure, perfect and he never lied about his product. Never-lying about a product…thats pretty much missing in these days, business, right!
Ingredients:
Cashewnuts 2 cups
Jaggerry 1/2 cup
Sugar 1/2 cup
Cardamom seeds powder 1/4 spoon
Ghee 1/4 cup.
Method:
In a wide wok, heat jaggery plus sugar with about 1/4 cup of water. Bring them to syrup like consistency.
Add cardamom seeds powder. Now stir-in cashewnuts, once the syrup reduces and nuts get crispier, remove from heat.
In a wide tray/plate, smear ghee. Add the cashew nuts content in it! Place them in the fridge for few hours.
Burfi looks healthy and tasty.I used to dry fry the cashews before mix it with syrup.will try ur version and thank you for visiting my blog.
Oh wow these are my bro’s fav
wow! this looks great and sounds yumm!
I love chikkis. especially the one’s made with jaggery. Now-a-days we mostly find thos emade with sugar. i don’t like that.
Nice recipe.How do u know the right time to remove the mix from the stove?

Wow looks delicious! Never tasted it before! Being a cashew fan I would definitely give this a try!
Is it fair Malar, to tempt such a soul like me with this finger licking sweet:)
