So begin with creating a fine powder of cashew nuts. You can use a grinder for this purpose. The cashews should be present at room temperature. Once the powder is ready, scrape it from the container and we shall use it later on for making the dough. Let's move on.

Some sugar and water are taken in a pot and then boiled for a while. As the syrup thickens, the sugar dissolves and a string-like consistency has been reached, you can pour the cashew powder into the syrup. Keep stirring continuously throughout the process because we do not want any lumps to be formed in the mixture. Slowly, in about a few minutes, you will observe that a tender dough of cashew nuts has been formed.

Then you must knead the dough with crushed rose petals, some ghee or coconut oil once the dough has cooled down a bit. Remember that you are not supposed to apply huge pressure. Roll it into a flat surface and then begin to carve the diamond shapes. Allow the kaju katli to cool down further before you serve them. You can store the extra in an airtight container. If stored inside the refrigerator, the kaju katli will remain fresh for even two weeks.
