I got this KAJU KAATLI recipe from my dear friend SUPHALA SHENOY who is an ace cook & lovely friend too. So many tried this recipe & got excellent results. My kaatlis in pics may not look perfect but tasted great. My hubby liked it & ate a few pieces is the proof :P. What i like about my friend Suphi is she always gives exacact measurements & mentions about timings too. So that it becomes easy to follow her recipes to get excellent results. Now onwards you can make kaju kaalis at home & gift it to your frineds & family during festivals & surprise them. Best part of this recipe is you don't need ghee/butter/oil to make kaji kaaltis.
INGREDIENTS:-
Cashewnuts - 1 cup
sugar - 1/2 cup
cardamom - 1 pod
METHOD:-
1. Dry grind cashews & one pod of cardamom to make a smooth powder. (it will take about 10-15 secs in small chutney jar of your mixie.)
2. Heat a thick bottom kadai take sugar & add 1/4th cup of water to it. & make sugar syrup for abou 3-4 mins.
3. Add the cashew powder to the syrup & keep stirring for about 2-3 mins.
4. When the mixture becomes little thick remove from the flame & keep stirring till you get a thick ball like cough.
5. Then transfer this dough onto a cutting board & knead it well. (unfortunately i skipped this step & realised later that it is very very important step of this recipe to get excellent results) Be careful as dough is very hot at this point of time. So switch on the fan & allow it to cool a little before kneading.
6. As you kneads grains will disappear & you will get a smooth dough. Spread this dough with a belan(roller pin) imto a big round. Then cut inti diamond shape.
NOTE:- You can use sides to make kaju rolls.
