Kaju Katli with Milk Powder is a traditional Indian sweet made with cashews, sugar, ghee, and milk powder. The cashews are ground into a fine paste, which is then sweetened with sugar and flavored with milk powder. This mixture is then shaped into thin, delicate sheets and cut into diamond-shaped pieces to form the final sweet.
Assemble all ingredients to avoid last minute rush.
Grind finely cashews. Try to grind them in batches otherwise cashews will release their oil due to heat of blender or mixi and becomes sticky.
Also, grind green cardamom into a powder form.
Cooking
Take a Kadai and heat ghee into it on low flame.
Now, add milk and milk powder into it and stir completely to avoid any lumps. Add milk powder into batches so that no lumps will be formed.
Now, add sugar into it and mix well.
Cook the mixture until it starts combining together. Do not overcook the mixture otherwise it will turn sticky and becomes rubber like texture.
Now, take a Mixing Bowl and add the prepared milk powder mixture, cardamom powder and grinded cashews into it. Mix well.
Now, take butter paper or parchment paper and place prepared mixture over it. Now cover it again with the paper and with the help of a Rolling Pin, roll the mixture so that there will be no cracks in your Kaju Katli.
Let it set for 2 hours.
Now remove the mixture from the mould and cut it into your desired shape.
Cashews: You can also roast cashews before grinding to give them nutty flavor. Take only plain and not too old cashews for this recipe.
Sugar: you can adjust sweet as per your choice and preference.
Cardamom powder: If cardamom powder is not available at your place, you can completely skip this step.
