For the sweet- tooth!

This recipe reminds me of the street vendors, especially the ones who walk around with the trays, hollering Kashata. The traditional way of having this sweet snack is with some Kahawa- Coffee. This recipe can be done in different ways, I chose to share the peanut version today. I know peanuts are quite common and loved by many and this recipe is quite easy to make.

Kashata za Njugu - The sweet peanut snack

Ingredients

Sugar - 2 cups

Water - 3/4 cups

Peanuts -  2 cups (Peeled, Roasted and crushed/blended)

Cardamom - 1/2 teaspoon

Milk Powder - 2 teaspoon

Procedure

Add in the sugar and the water until it boils and gets sticky. Mix in the peanuts, the milk powder and  cardamom with the sugar mixture.

Stir carefully on low heat, make sure it does not burn until it gets really sticky and thoroughly mixed.

Get a square tray and lightly grease it or you can line it with waxed paper. Pour the mixture gently onto the tray and spread it over the tray.

Let rest for a few minutes. Cut into squares or diamonds while still warm. Let cool and serve. ENJOY!
