Ingredients

• 200 grams Cashew nuts
• 2 tablespoons Stevia
• 4 tablespoons Water
• 0.5 teaspoon Cardamom powder
• 1 teaspoon Ghee (Clarified Butter)
• 1 sheet Silver edible foil (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Place the cashew nuts in a blender or food processor and pulse until they are finely powdered. Be careful not to over-process as this will release the oils and make it sticky.

Step 2

In a non-stick pan, combine the stevia and water. Stir until the stevia dissolves and bring to a gentle boil.

Step 3

Add the cashew powder to the pan with the stevia syrup. Stir constantly over low heat to avoid lumps and ensure a smooth mixture.

Step 4

Continue cooking until the mixture thickens and starts leaving the sides of the pan, forming a dough-like consistency.

Step 5

Mix in the cardamom powder and ghee, stirring well to incorporate them into the mixture.

Step 6

Turn off the heat. Let the dough cool slightly, then transfer it to a greased surface or a sheet of parchment paper.

Step 7

Knead the dough gently to smoothen it further, but be cautious as it will still be warm.

Step 8

Place another sheet of parchment paper over the dough and roll it out evenly with a rolling pin to about 1/4-inch thickness.

Step 9

If using, apply the silver edible foil on top gently, pressing it slightly onto the surface.

Step 10

Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut the rolled dough into diamond shapes.

Step 11

Allow the Kaju Katli to cool completely and set before serving or storing in an airtight container.
