Kaju Katli making with automatic machines in Jodhpur 😍😍 Full Process of Kaju Katli 🤩🤩

Kaju Katli is a popular Indian sweet made primarily from cashew nuts (kaju), sugar, and ghee. It's known for its smooth, soft texture and diamond-shaped pieces. 

The cashews are ground into a fine powder, which is then cooked with sugar syrup until it forms a dough-like consistency. Ghee is added to enhance the flavor and texture, while cardamom or rose water might be added for a hint of fragrance.

The sweet is usually garnished with a thin layer of edible silver foil, giving it a festive and luxurious look. It's rich, slightly grainy, and has a melt-in-the-mouth quality that's irresistible. Kaju Katli is often served during special occasions like Diwali, weddings, or other celebrations in India, and it’s a favorite among many for its delicate, nutty flavor and elegant appearance.

Authentic Kaju Katli Recipe (Indian Sweet Shop Style)

This melt-in-the-mouth mithai is a must-have during festivals like Diwali, Raksha Bandhan, and weddings. Here’s how Indian sweet shops make perfect Kaju Katli with a smooth and glossy texture!

Ingredients:

✔️ 2 cups (250g) Cashews (Kaju)
✔️ 1 cup (200g) Sugar
✔️ ½ cup Water
✔️ 1 tsp Ghee (for greasing)
✔️ ½ tsp Cardamom Powder (Optional)
✔️ 1 tsp Rose Water / Kewra Water (Optional)
✔️ Silver Leaf (Chandi Varq) – For Garnishing (Optional)

Step-by-Step Method:

Step 1: Prepare the Cashew Powder

1️⃣ Dry Cashew Powder:

• Take high-quality cashews and grind them in a mixer grinder to a fine powder.
• Tip: Pulse the mixer in intervals (5 seconds at a time) to avoid releasing oil. The powder should be dry, not sticky.

Step 2: Make Sugar Syrup

2️⃣ Prepare the Syrup:

• In a non-stick pan, add 1 cup sugar and ½ cup water.
• Heat on a medium flame and stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
• Cook until you get a one-string consistency (when you touch the syrup between two fingers, it forms a single thread).

Step 3: Cook the Mixture

3️⃣ Add Cashew Powder:

• Lower the flame and add the cashew powder to the sugar syrup.
• Stir continuously to avoid lumps.
• Cook for 8-10 minutes on a low-medium flame until the mixture thickens and starts leaving the sides of the pan.
• Add rose/kewra water and cardamom powder (if using) for extra flavor.

Step 4: Kneading & Shaping

4️⃣ Cool & Knead the Dough:

• Transfer the mixture to a greased surface or parchment paper.
• Let it cool slightly (not completely) and knead while warm for a smooth texture.
• Apply a little ghee on your hands to prevent sticking.

5️⃣ Roll & Cut:

• Roll the dough evenly using a rolling pin to about ¼ inch thickness.
• Apply silver leaf (varq) for an authentic sweet shop look.
• Cut into diamond-shaped pieces using a knife or pizza cutter.

Final Step: Serve & Enjoy!

• Let the Kaju Katli cool completely before separating the pieces.
• Store in an airtight container for up to 10 days at room temperature.

💡 Pro Tip: For a softer texture, slightly undercook the mixture. If it becomes too hard, knead it with a few drops of warm milk.

Enjoy this delicious, smooth, and rich Kaju Katli, just like the ones in Indian sweet shops! 🍬🎉
