I have been trying a lot of traditional Kashmiri Recipes off late, I recently prepared Kasmiri Dahi Baingan and Kashmiri Shufta is one of them. Kashmiri Shufta is a traditional Kashmiri dessert especially made during festivals and Marriages is nothing but a mixture of various dry fruits and spices coated with sugar syrup. Although the recipe looks very simple, it tastes awesome. Dry fruits are first soaked in water for sometime and then mixed with ghee, various spice powders and sugar.
I would be looking forward to your feedback for the same, so, do prepare Kashmiri Shufta and drop your comment pretty soon. Here is the simple recipe to make Kashmiri Shufta.

How much water should I add? I loved the recipe but it won’t work without water.

You don’t have to add water in this recipe. The sugar will dissolve and coat the dry fruits.
