6. Chocolate Kaju Katli
This Kaju katli recipe is generously laid with melted chocolate and a show stopper in your food.
Ingredients
- Cashew nuts- 2 1/4 Cups
- Sugar – 1 Cup
- Water – 100 ml
- Milk chocolate or dark chocolate – 1 Cup
Procedure
- Firstly, grind the cashew nut in a blender to make a fine powder to begin making Chocolate Kaju Katli.
- Take a big pan, add the sugar and water. Place on medium heat and bring to boiling. When the sugar has finally dissolved, turn the heat down and allow the mixture to boil for a few minutes before it reaches a consistency of a single string.
- To test whether you have reached the appropriate consistency, shift a few drops of the syrup to a clean plate, allow it to cool for 15-20 seconds and test it to form a single thread between your thumb and index finger.
- Once the syrup has reached a single thread consistency, add the ground cashew nut powder into the syrup and stir for 4-5 minutes continuously. The mixture would gradually become a thick paste.
- Take off the heat from the mixture and allow it to cool to room temperature. If the mix cools down slightly, grease your palms with a ghee dash and start kneading the mixture. Knead until smooth, flat, and like a dough.
- Next spread over the counter-top a sheet of butter paper. Place the dough on it and roll the dough out at a 5-6 mm thickness with a rolling pin, evenly.
- Next place water in a saucepan over the heat. Place over it a heatproof bowl, and melt the chocolate. The heat produced in underneath the boiling water will slowly melt the chocolate. Ensure that the heatproof bowl doesn’t touch the boiling water.
- Upon proper melting of the chocolate, pour over the rolled Kaju katli dough and spread it evenly with the use of a spatula.
- Let it cool for a while and then move to the surface and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes. When the chocolate has been set, you can cut the chocolate Kaju katlis by making intersecting diagonal lines so that they form the pattern of diamond shapes.
