Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Cashew nuts
- 2 tablespoons Stevia
- 4 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Cardamom powder
- 1 teaspoon Ghee (Clarified Butter)
- 1 sheet Silver edible foil (optional)
Instructions
Place the cashew nuts in a blender or food processor and pulse until they are finely powdered. Be careful not to over-process as this will release the oils and make it sticky.
In a non-stick pan, combine the stevia and water. Stir until the stevia dissolves and bring to a gentle boil.
Add the cashew powder to the pan with the stevia syrup. Stir constantly over low heat to avoid lumps and ensure a smooth mixture.
Continue cooking until the mixture thickens and starts leaving the sides of the pan, forming a dough-like consistency.
Mix in the cardamom powder and ghee, stirring well to incorporate them into the mixture.
Turn off the heat. Let the dough cool slightly, then transfer it to a greased surface or a sheet of parchment paper.
Knead the dough gently to smoothen it further, but be cautious as it will still be warm.
Place another sheet of parchment paper over the dough and roll it out evenly with a rolling pin to about 1/4-inch thickness.
If using, apply the silver edible foil on top gently, pressing it slightly onto the surface.
Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut the rolled dough into diamond shapes.
Allow the Kaju Katli to cool completely and set before serving or storing in an airtight container.
