How to make Kaju Katli at home?
Whatever be the occasion Holi or Diwali – fasting days or festive time this Kaju recipe is a hands-down winner. Take a bite out of these creamy and soft Kaju pieces, and you will get a heavenly “melt in mouth” taste. Did you know? Kajus or cashews are high in protein and low in carbohydrates, so that gives you all the more reason to try this recipe. Hence, the cashews used in this recipe are raw, as in they are not roasted twice. They are used the way they came in the packet. Because kaju (cashew) is a soft nut and will grind up nicely if kept at room temperature. Grind them using a coffee grinder or in a food processor. Blend in batches and make sure that the cashew powder does, not become a sticky powder. If it does, then the cashews have released their oil and this will not work. You need to start all over again. Sift the cashew powder through a sieve.
What is a one-thread sugar syrup?
One thread means where one wire (strand, string or taar) of sugar syrup is formed in between your fingers. Take a few drops of sugar syrup in between your fingers and if the thread or sugar string between your finger and thumb doesn’t break after pulling apart, single thread or 1 string sugar syrup is ready.
Take the pan off the flame. Transfer it to a clean bowl/plate and allow it to cool down completely. Gently grease your hands with ghee and knead the dough into a smooth dough ball. Spread the mixture in between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out. Apply silver leaf on top. Using a knife or a pizza cutter cut the dough into a diamond shape. All-time favorite Kaju Katli is ready to enjoy!!
