Ingredients

  • Kaju/Cashew nuts - 1 Cup

  • Cardamom powder - a pinch
  • Pistachios - few sliced
  • Ghee/Clarified butter - 1 Teaspoon + for greasing

Instructions

  5. Add sugar and less than 1/4 cup water. Melt the sugar on a medium flame.
  6. Cook the syrup to get one string consistency.
  7. Add cashew nut powder to it. Mix and cook it on a low flame. Stir the mixture continuously.
  8. Add cardamom powder and ghee. Mix well. (Ghee will give shine to the kaju katli)
  9. Once the mixture starts leaving the kadai and thickened, switch off the gas.
  10. Let the mixture cool for 5 to 10 minutes.
  11. Grease the butter paper or plastic sheet with ghee.
  12. Pour the mixture on greased butter paper. Cover it with another greased butter paper.
  13. Roll it thick using a rolling pin. Sprinkle sliced pistachios on top. Press it lightly with hands.
  14. Cut it into diamond shape.
  15. Yummy 'Kaju Katli' is ready to be served.
  16. Note:- Do not over grind the cashew nuts. Overgrinding makes it oily and sticky.
