Notes

Tips to make the best Kaju katli:

  1. Cashew: Powder the cashews in a mixer grinder as fine as possible, but without making it lumpy. Do not run the mixer at one continuous stretch, but run for a few seconds multiple times. This gives you the perfect cashew powder. 
  2. Powder: Running the mixer for a longer time than required will make the powder pasty and lumpy because the cashews release oils. 
  3. Do not overcook the kaju katli because it will crack and become powdery after cooling. Turn off the flame as soon as the Kaju is cooked. 
  4. Kneading the mixture is the key here – kneading it will mix all the ingredients well and give you the right texture. 
  5. Pour the cooked mixture on a plate that is greased well with ghee/ clarified butter or butter so that it doesn’t stick to the plate. 
  6. Before adding the cashew powder, ensure that the sugar is completely dissolved and the sugar syrup has reached one string consistency.
