Kaju Katli

Kaju Katli is one of our favourite sweets and I made this for Diwali and posting for Day 3 of Blogging Marathon #22. I noted it down from a TV show and have tried it a couple of times before.The katli will be ready so fast and its easy if you keep all the things,rolling pin etc ready. 

              "Wish you all a very happy and prosperous Diwali"

Ingredients:

Cashewnut	1 cup
Sugar powdered	½ cup+2 tblsp
Rose essence	½ tsp

Method:

• Grind cashewnut to a fine powder using a mixie.Transfer to a bowl.
• Powder sugar and transfer it to a pan.
• Add little water till the sugar is just immersed.
• Boil till you get one string consistency.Add rose essence ,mix well and immediately transfer to the bowl containing cashew powder.
• Mix well with a ladle.Once its warm enough to handle with your hands,grease little ghee and knead it well.You will get a smooth ball .
• Place this ball in between parchment sheets and roll to desired thickness using rolling pin.
• Cut into diamonds and serve.

Note:

• While grinding the cashews grind it at a stretch,don't stop many times in between.
• The sugar syrup consistency is important to get the right texture.
• Kneading it well is also important.
• If the mixture is dry and it breaks while kneading,add very little milk, knead again and proceed.(I used few drops of milk as mine was bit dry)
• But when you use milk the shelf life is less and its better to refrigerate and consume it quickly.
