Ingredients 

Caster sugar -400gms

Water-255ml

Rose water-3tbsp

Lemon Juice-1tbsp

Crushed pistachios -2tbsp

Unflavoured Gelatine-25gm

Red or pink colour-2drops

Icing Sugar-4tbsp

Cornflour-1 tsp

Method

Lightly grease baking tin with oil .Here I used square shaped glassware

Or u can place cling wrap in the bottom of the vessel and keep aside

Pour water into a bowl and sprinkle gelatine little by little and keep aside for 10 minutes .

Then  add rose water  ,gelatine mix and sugar to  a large heavy bottomed pan ..Mix well

Now heat this by stirring continuously till all the gelatine and sugar gets dissolve.

Now reduce the heat and let this mix cook for 25 minutes ..No need to stir in between ..

After 25 minutes take out the pan and to this add lemon juice ,colour and crushed

pistachio .Mix well ..leave for 5 minutes

Then pour  into the greased tin and leave for 2 hours (or until it reaches room temperature )

Then keep it in the refrigerator for 12 hours by covering the top using cling wrap

Mix cornflour and sieved Icing sugar well and spread well in a tray

Here I  used cling wrap, so just turn the vessel upside to the sugar mix .Remove the Cling wrap and sprinkle sugar mix  both sides of the delight.

Then dip the knife in the sugar mix and cut our turkish delight into small squares (by dipping the knife in the sugar will help to cut the delight easily)

Again roll/toss/dust each pieces in the cornflour sugar mix  and keep in a air tight container..For that …

In the bottom of the container first lay a baking parchment paper and sprinkle some sugar mix then  place one layer then sprinkle the sugar and place the paper and do the same procedure with the rest pieces ..

When i saw this  recipe  got excited and tried the same day ..

The problem I faced here is with my elder son:(  coz he did like the texture and all..  but the smell … 😉 he was not that happy with the rosewater smell ..So next time I am going to add strawberry essence(his favourite) instead of rosewater and make him happy ..

And this is the simple version of Turkish delight ..In the authentic version have to stir for soooo long and used cornflour instead of gelatine ..As I did tasted both version ,this version does 90%  justice  to the real one ..With the two kids running around ,not able to think of doing the authentic in near future .. 🙂 And  I will def share the recipe with u my dear ones when I do ..

So dear mamas get ready and  make ur kids happy 🙂

Nb:

Caster sugar is nothing bur  our white sugar only but finely powdered white sugar

I got this recipe from this blog 

Made small variations to suit my taste

Love
