Welcome distractions kept me away from writing,unexpectedly...traversing in the land known for it's pesarattus, layered biryanis , spicy podis and pulsus...Hyderabad is indeed a melting pot of many customs and cuisines...the mughal influence is completely showcased in the city's food , architecture , customs and language ! The city is unique in that it offers the culinary heritage of the telugu hindus and that of the royal mughals who made their mark and continue to do so in all areas of day to day living.
Weddings in India are an experience in themselves and one in the family is even more so...the laughter of children,family banter late into the night,while tucking into delicious morsels of food truly makes for great memories in the years to come.
Gifting sweets is a time honoured Indian tradition,a custom that is all the more special during an important celebration ,like a wedding...the famous Jeedipappu Pakam...an elevated decadent version of the chikki is a firm favourite among food lovers evrywhere...a very famous sweet and most travellers,on leisure, to the city of Hyderabad ,will definitely be presented,to carry back home, a packet of these delicious cashew nut morsels !

1 tsp cardamom powder or a few whole green cardamom smashed (optional)
Method
Grease a flat metal pan with ghee and set aside
In a wide heavy bottomed pan,add the sugar and jaggery along with the water ,on low heat
As it melts ,swirl the pan,do not stir and bring to the boil
As it bubbles away,keep swirling,until it turns thick and syrupy...it will be a slow sticky bubble around the edges of the pan
Quickly add in the cashew nuts and cardamom (if using ) and stir to coat,turn off heat and pour mixture onto the greased pan.
