 KAJU KATLI RECIPE

Kaju katli is one of the most searched sweet dish recipe of India, so I thought why not to share my recipe of kaju katli. So lets not waste any time  in the introduction.

INGREDIENTS:

CASHEW POWDER OR GROUNDED CASHEW - 2CUPS

SUGAR - 3/4CUP

WATER- 1/2 CUP

GHEE - 1TBSP 

PREPARATION:

1. To prepare the cashew powder you will need around 200gm of cashew. wash the cashew well to remove any foreign substance and dry well. once dried transfer the cashews in a mixer grinder and grind them by taking pauses at every 10 seconds. (we can't grind the cashews at one go as they will heat up and release oil)Once done strain them with the help of a sieve to get the bigger pieces out.

2. In a pan take 1/2 cup of water and add sugar to it. Wait for the sugar to dissolve in water once dissolved add the cashew powder and keep on stirring on medium heat. after few minutes add the ghee and stir well. The mixture will start to become non sticky and will start to leave the pan.

3.after around 10 minutes of cooking take a pinch of the mixture in between your thumb and index finger and check whether you can turn it into a ball or not.(you can use some water to shape it. If it turns into a ball without sticking much then just cook it for another 1 minute and turn off the heat. and let it cool at room temperature.

4. Once it cool it will become like a dough so you can handle it with hands. On a board place a plastic sheet or butter paper and roll the dough with the help of a rolling pin.

5. roll the dough thin or thick as you like. you can put silver sheet, pistachio, saffron or anything which you like or simply leave it as it is. Cut it with a knife in diamonds.
