A few weeks back my nephew Nimesh invited us for a pooja (prayers) at his home here in Charleston. As is the customs here, we mostly bring with us to the pooja some sort of offering be it food, flowers, incense etc. I decided that I would make some of these delicious nut bars as I was a bit limited for time due to long hours at the shop.
These are very easy to make and the aromatic cardamom, nutmeg and saffron makes them unbeleivably moreish and heaven scented.
Here i have used a cookie cutter to form these floral shapes but you can simply mix the ingredients as directed below and turn the mixture out onto a lightly greased tray. Once set you can slice these into little squares, decorate with non parelii and serve.
3 cups chopped nuts
1 cup icing sugar
4/5 tab sp gree melted
1/3 tea sp cardamom
1/3 tea sp nutmeg
saffron pinch
mix sugar and ghee together until foamy.
add the chopped nuts ,saffron,cardamom and nutmeg ,fold in the above ingredients mix well.Divide in to appx 40 equel portions and shape them.

Panna ben,no cooknig required as nuts are already roasted.

These look delicious and tasty, do you grind the nuts to form powder or chop them coarsely?? The texture in yours looks fairly smooth.
