Kaju Katli

Instructions

1. 1

   Begin by grinding the 200g of cashew nuts into a fine powder. Ensure not to over-grind as it may release oil.

2. 2

   In a pan, combine 100g of sugar and 50ml of water. Heat the mixture over medium flame until the sugar dissolves completely, forming a syrup.

3. 3

   Add the cashew powder to the sugar syrup and mix well, ensuring there are no lumps.

4. 4

   Cook the mixture on low heat, stirring continuously until it thickens and starts to leave the sides of the pan.

5. 5

   Add 1 tablespoon of ghee and 1/4 teaspoon of cardamom powder to the mixture. Mix well to incorporate the flavors.

6. 6

   Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

7. 7

   Transfer the mixture onto a greased surface or parchment paper. Knead it gently to form a smooth dough.

8. 8

   Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/4 inch using a rolling pin.

9. 9

   Cut the rolled dough into diamond shapes using a sharp knife.

10. 10

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