kaju katli

Kaju katli

Ingredients:

1 cup kaju (cashews)
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 tbsp of water
1 tsp ghee
1/4 tsp of cardamon powder

Procedure:

Grind kaju to make powder.In a big vessel mix kaju powder and powdered sugar.In heavy bottom pan, add ghee and let it melt.When ghee starts melting add kaju and sugar powder mix.Cook cashew and sugar powder mix for about 5-7 minutes.constantly stir it. Do not let it turn brown.
Now after cooking it for sometime add 2 tbsp of water.


Keep stirring in the pan itself with the ladle and the mixture turns more like a dough.When the mixture is still warm,take it to another clean platform or big vessel and keep kneading. Add cardamon powder now, if you add earlier chances of colour change.The dough will be grainy and cracked  till then, but after kneading the dough really became smooth. Add little ghee while kneading.If dough seems to be too dry add few drops of milk to it and knead to smooth dough.

Roll the dough into thin layer and cut it diagonally to make diamond shaped pieces of katli.
