Notes

  • Get Cashews Powdered Properly,that is the main key to get perfect kaju katli.You can even sieve cashew powder to get that fine powder.
  •  Knead the cashew mixture well,so that you get a smooth dough. While kneading ,if oil start to leave from cashew dough,stop at that point immediately.
  • If cashew mass becomes more hard and if you find it difficult to knead then you can add 1-2 teaspoon of milk to knead the dough,but shelf life will be reduced.
  • If you need,you can even add a drop of rose essence to cashew mixture once you turn off the heat ,before kneading.
