Homemade kaju(cashew nuts ) rolls by asheeah
Khaju
rolls with dates
Ingredients
- 1 cup cashews
3/4 cup sugar
10 dates, finely chopped
4 Tbsp almonds (soak in water for an hour and peel)
3 Tbsp pistachios, finely chopped
Method
Wash cashew and soak in water for
ten minutes.
Drain the water and make a fine paste (add little water if required to make the paste).
In a pan add cashew paste and sugar. Mix well.
Now switch on the gas at low flame and keep stirring the paste, until it thickens and becomes non sticky.
It takes approximately 15 minutes to thicken.
Note : The cashew paste will become non sticky. To test, take a small quantity and spread on plate, when you try to roll, it should not stick on plate.
Now remove from pan and keep it aside until it cools down.
Now knead it for a minute till it becomes like a smooth dough.
Spread to half-inch thickness with the help of rolling-pin.
In another bowl add chopped dates, almond and pistachios. Mix well.
Put this mixture in the middle of the rolled cashew dough.
Now roll the dough gently. Cut into pieces. Ready to serve

Asheeah Teacakes
Cooking
time
Prep: 50 mins Cook: 30 mins Plus overnight soaking and
proving
Servings
Makes 6
Fruit buns flavoured with aromatic
tea and orange to be served toasted with lashings of butter
Ingredients
- 200g mixed dried fruits, any larger pieces chopped (we
used raisins, sultanas, dried cherries and apricots)
- zest ½ orange
- 200ml hot tea, made from 2 tea bags
- 250ml whole milk
- 75g butter, cubed, plus extra to serve
- 500g strong white bread flour, plus extra for dusting
- 1½ tsp mixed spice
- 50g caster sugar
- 7g sachet fast-action dried yeast
- 1 large egg, beaten
- apricot jam, to glaze
Method
- Put the fruit and zest in a bowl and cover with the hot
tea. Leave to steep overnight.
- Heat the milk in a small pan until hot but not boiling.
Remove from the heat and add the butter, swirling the pan to help the
butter melt and cool the milk. Leave to cool to hand temperature. Tip the
flour, mixed spice, sugar, yeast and ½ tsp salt into a large bowl. Pour in
the warm milk mixture, the egg and 1 tbsp of the tea from the soaked
fruit. Mix with a wooden spoon to combine, then tip onto your surface and
knead for 5 mins until smooth and elastic, adding a little more flour if
the mixture is too sticky. Place in a clean, oiled bowl and cover with
cling film, then leave in a warm place to rise for 2 hrs until doubled in
size.
- Flour 2 large flat baking trays, knock all the air out
of your dough and add the soaked fruit (drain the fruit first if you have
any liquid left in the bowl). Knead the fruit into the dough until well
distributed – you may need to add a little extra flour if the fruit makes
the dough too sticky. Break into 6 pieces and shape into balls. Place on
the floured baking trays, well spaced apart, and squash each down lightly
with the palm of your hand. Cover loosely with oiled cling film, then
leave to prove for 30 mins-1 hr, until doubled in size.
4. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Uncover the
teacakes and bake for 25 mins, swapping the trays over halfway hrough cooking,
until golden and hollow-sounding when tapped on the base. Brush each one with a
little apricot jam and return to the oven for a further 1-2 mins. Leave to cool
on a wire rack. Serve warm from the oven or split and toasted, topped with
lashings of butter. Will keep in a tin for up to 4 days.
Apricots brioche by asheeah
- 375g strong white flour
- 50g caster sugar
- 7g sachet fast-action yeast
- 2 tsp salt
- 100ml milk
- 4 eggs
- 175g butter, softened
- 140g dried apricots, diced
Method
- In a mixer or large bowl, mix together the flour,
sugar, yeast and salt, then add the milk and 3 of the eggs and continue
mixing to make a smooth dough – 5 mins in the mixer or 8 mins by hand. Add
the softened butter and mix for a further 5 mins in a mixer or 10 mins by
hand. Put the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and leave in the fridge
overnight. Your dough will then be stiff and easy to shape.
- Grease 2 x 500g bread tins, then divide the dough into
about 16 pieces and prod some apricots into each piece. Seal them up and
shape into little balls. Place the balls in a tin in sequences of 2 until
the tin is full. It should take no more than 8 pieces to fill each tin.
Leave the brioche for 3 hrs to prove until doubled in size.
- Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Brush with 1 beaten
egg and bake for 20 mins until golden brown and the loaves sound hollow
when tapped underneath. Cool on a wire rack.

Turkish Delight-Lokum recipes by Asheeah
Prep time: 15 minutes
(plus setting overnight) Cooking time: about 25 minutes
Makes about 64 small
squares
25gr icing sugar
100groz corn flour
700gr/1 1/2lb caster
sugar
Juice of 1 lemon
3 tbsp powdered Agar
agar
Red or pink coloring –
optional
1 . Line a 20.5 (8in)
square baking tin with a cling film. Sift icing sugar and 25g (1oz) of the corn
flour into a small bowl. Sprinkle a little over the base and sides of the tin.
Set bowl aside.
2 . Put caster sugar,
lemon juice and 400ml water into large pan. Heat gently until dissolved – do
not boil. In a small bowl, mix the remaining corn flour and agar agar with
100ml cold water, and then stir into sugar syrup(in the pan), stir with balloon
whisk to break up lumps. Bring to boil, then simmer over medium heat for 20
minutes, whisking often. The mixture should thicken and turn pale yellow.
3 . Remove from
heat and whisk in a little food coloring to turn mixture into light pink
(optional). Set aside for 5 min. Stir in rose water and pour into tin. Leave to
set in a cool place overnight.
Dust a board with some
reserved corn flour mixture, and then invert Turkish Delight on to it. Remove
tin; peel off cling film. Cut into cubes, and then roll each gently in corn
flour mixture to coat.
Let Set overnight (and
more if you can).
Dusting a board with
the corn flour and icing sugar mixture really helps for the jelly not to stick.
Store in an airtight
container with remaining corn flour mixture at cool room temperature for up to
1 month.
To pack as gifts,
sprinkle a little corn flour mixture into a bag to stop sweets sticking.
