Delicious Kaju Katli Recipe – A Traditional Indian Dessert

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 1 cup Cashew nuts (Raw, unsalted)
  • 1 cup Sugar (Granulated)
  • 1 cup Water (For syrup)
  • 1 tbsp Ghee (Clarified butter)
  • 1 tsp Cardamom powder (For flavor)

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Prepare Cashew Nuts

    Soak the cashew nuts in water for 2 hours, then drain.

    Use raw cashews for best results.
  2. Make Cashew Paste

    Blend the soaked cashews into a smooth paste, adding a little water if necessary.

    Ensure the paste is smooth to achieve a good texture.
  3. Cook Sugar Syrup

    In a pan, combine sugar and water. Cook until it reaches a one-string consistency.

    Check the consistency by taking a drop of syrup between your fingers.
  4. Combine Ingredients

    Add the cashew paste to the sugar syrup and mix well.

    Stir continuously to prevent sticking.
  5. Add Ghee and Cardamom

    Stir in ghee and cardamom powder, cooking until the mixture leaves the sides of the pan.

    This indicates it’s ready to be shaped.
  6. Shape the Kaju Katli

    Spread the mixture on a greased surface and roll it out evenly.

    Use a rolling pin for even thickness.
  7. Cut into Pieces

    Allow to cool, then cut into diamond-shaped pieces.

    Use a sharp knife for clean cuts.
