I’ve always been wondering how to make Kaju (Cashew) Katli
at home. I even, thought it’s not possible to make that sweet at home like many
other sweets. But once I heard from one of my friend that it’s easy to make it
and so I researched in the internet and wanted to try it out for 2017 Diwali.
But then something went wrong with the consistency that kaju katli turned out
to be kaju halwa J .
Then after an year Mohan’s wife, Amlu said that she made it at home and it came
out really well and around couple of months from then, N had a office party and
I was wondering what to make for that… then Amlu gave me that spirit and
encouragement and she said she will do a video call with me and we can do it to
gather. Then with that as a motivation I started making the sweet. It came out
really well… better than I expected ;)
Here goes the recipe for it…
1 cup Cashew or Almond Flour
a little less than ½ cup of sugar
2 tbsp. of water
Take a pan, put the sugar in it and add the 2 tbsp. water
and let it heat until the sugar gets dissolved in the water. Then add the
Cashew or Almond Flour to it and keep the flame low so that the content in the
pan doesn’t get burnt. With the low flame, make sure everything gets mixed up
so well without any lumps and do it until it comes to a dough consistency. Then
take the dough immediately out the pan (from the heat). Now take a wax paper /
parchment paper / aluminum foil, apply butter on one side and then place the
dough on it. Leave it there until the heat is gone and you are able to touch
the dough and kneed it. Then take another wax paper / parchment paper /
aluminum foil and apply butter on one side and place this paper on the top of
the dough. Now take a rolling pin and roll it to the thickness you need. Remove
the top paper once done and then take a pizza cutter and start cutting the cake
in diamond shapes. TA-DA!!! The sweet is ready like in the stores… This is a
very quick and easy recipe if you have the flour already ready. If not it just
takes another couple of minutes to grind the nuts to make the flour.
