Ingredients

• 200 grams Cashew nuts
• 50 grams Sugar
• 45 ml Water
• 0.5 teaspoons Cardamom powder
• 30 grams Skimmed milk powder
• 1 teaspoons Ghee

Directions

Step 1

Start by grinding the cashew nuts into a fine powder. Make sure to use short pulses to prevent them from releasing oil and turning into a paste.

Step 2

Sift the ground cashew powder through a fine mesh sieve. This ensures a smooth texture for the Kaju Katli.

Step 3

In a non-stick pan, combine sugar and water. Heat on a low flame until the sugar completely dissolves and the syrup reaches a one-string consistency. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Once the sugar syrup is ready, turn off the heat and add the cashew powder, skimmed milk powder, and cardamom powder to the syrup.

Step 5

Mix well to combine all the ingredients into a uniform dough. If the mixture feels too sticky, continue to mix gently until it starts coming together.

Step 6

Grease your hands lightly with ghee and knead the dough until smooth and pliable.

Step 7

Place the kneaded dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll it out evenly to a thickness of about 5 mm using a rolling pin.

Step 8

Carefully remove the top sheet of parchment paper and use a sharp knife to cut the rolled-out dough into diamond shapes.

Step 9

Allow the pieces to cool completely before gently removing them from the parchment and serving.

Step 10

Store any leftovers in an airtight container, separating layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
