Description
To prepare Kaju Katli, cashew nuts are finely ground into a powder, which forms the main ingredient for the sweet. The cashew powder is then combined with sugar and a small amount of water in a pan. It is cooked over low heat, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens and starts to come together.
Once the mixture reaches a dough-like consistency, it is transferred to a greased surface or a parchment-lined tray. It is then flattened and shaped into a thin, rectangular slab. The slab is left to cool for some time, allowing it to set and firm up.
After the Kaju Katli has cooled and set, it is cut into diamond-shaped or square pieces, making it ready to be served and enjoyed. It is often garnished with silver varq (edible silver foil) or decorated with silver or gold leaf for an elegant presentation.
Kaju Katli is known for its rich, nutty flavor and the smooth, melt-in-your-mouth texture. The cashew nuts give it a creamy and slightly sweet taste, while the sugar enhances the overall sweetness. Kaju Katli is often enjoyed during festive occasions, such as Diwali or weddings, and is also gifted to family and friends as a token of celebration and love.
The simplicity of its ingredients and the delightful combination of cashews and sugar make Kaju Katli a beloved and timeless sweet in Indian cuisine.
