Kaju Katli

Ingredients

• 1 cup cashew
• ½ cup sugar
• 3 tbsp. water

Powder the cashew in the grinder finely.

Grease a plate with1 tsp. ghee and set aside.

In a non-stick pan, add sugar and water. Heat it in a medium high flame until the syrup thicken for about 3-4 minutes. Add the cashew powder and stir until the mixture thickens and boils for about 3 minutes. Transfer this mixture to the greased plate.

Now, take an aluminium foil or grease paper/parchment paper and place it on top of a cutting board. Grease it with some ghee. Grease a rolling pin also. Well, I used back of my cookie sheet and a parchment paper.

Now knead the mixture in to a soft dough. Of course the mixture will be hot. You have to knead it while it’s hot otherwise, the end result will be a crumbly katlis. I used my gloves. Or you can use two ziplock bags. Knead for a minute or two.

Place it on top of the foil/grease paper and roll the dough into a thin layer. Let it set for an hour. You can draw lines with a knife tip and cut diagonally for diamond shape or you can cut into square shape.
