Sri Lanka Aluwa

 

1 1/2 cups sugar

1 1/2 cups milk

14 1/2 oz. can sweetened condensed milk

4 ozs. butter

1 cup cooked mashed potato

1 cup finely chopped cashewnuts

2 tablespoons rose water

1 teaspoon ground cardamom

 

Put sugar, milk, condensed milk and ghee into a large

heated non-stick saucepan. Cook over medium heat,

stirring constantly, until mixture reaches soft ball

stage or 240 degrees on a candy thermometer. (To test

for softball stage, drop a little into a cup of ice

cold water. If it firms enough to be molded into a

soft ball. it has reached the required temperature.)

Remove from heat, add smoothly mashed potato and beat

with a rotary beater until all lumps are beaten out.

If using a pan with non-stick lining, pour mixture

into a bowl before doing this or the metal beaters

will scratch the non stick surface. Return to heat and

cook to soft ball stage or 116°C (240°F) once more.

Remove from heat, stir in nuts, rose water and

cardamom and mix well. Pour into a well buttered

shallow dish or baking tin. Press lightly with a piece

of buttered banana leaf or plastic wrap to smooth and

flatten the surface. Allow to cool and set, then cut

into diamond shapes, and offer.
