This kaju katli is a mithai made with cashews.The best part of this mithai is that it lasts for long . And does not get spoiled soon .That is the reason in many festivals and in marriages this particular mithai is definitely a part and parcel . It is very smooth, soft ,melt in the mouth sweet .Enjoyed by All! I gave a twist to normal kaju katli by making it very flavourful by adding Kesar syrup to it and giving it a kesariya colour instead of normal white katli . #boxweek7 #stayhome #staysafe #sangitakalra

Steps

1

It is always recommended to keep the kaju in the freezer for overnight before making its katli. Next day, grind it to a fine powder on pulse mode of the mixie,so that the oils of the kaju remain intact. Seive it and keep aside.
2

Now in a non-stick kadai, add sugar, water and cook. Meanwhile prepare the two layer butter paper and grease them. Keep aside.
3

Now cook the chashni till one string consistency. Lower the flame and add the kaju powder. Mix nicely till all lumps are dissolved and you get a creamy texture. Add Kesar mixture and cook till the kaju mixture is well combined and it starts to thicken.
4

To check weather it is ready,put it in a plate and try to roll,if it rolls easily,that means it is done.Now switch off the gas and keep stirring.
5

You will see that as it cools you can easily make a dough kind. Add ghee to it. Now make a round roll and spread it in between the two greased butter paper and roll it with the rolling pin.
