Kaju Katli recipe - Learn how easy it is to make Indian sweet Kaju katli at home, for Diwali with quick video and step wise pictures.
I have tried Kaju katli two three times before and didn't get it right. This time I again wanted to try and yeah, I got it right!
So wanted to keep this kaju katli recipe here in my blog. I referred blogger friendโs blog this time, here.
It tasted exactly like we get from sweet shops and loved it! I found out the mistake I did previous times, the powdering part has always been a trouble to me.
Before this I used to grind the cashews I keep in the fridge, so while grinding, it became sticky and dint get powdered properly.
This time I didn't do that mistake. Also the perfect smooth effect to the sweet will be attained only when we knead the katli dough/mixture.
So will keep this as my main points, the next time I make this sweet again. You may also like my Kaju strawberry.
My notes
- When I ground 1 cup of cashews, I got more than a cup of cashew powder, but I used 1 cup, heaped (like a mountain) cashew powder. There was some 2 tablespoon left for me. So took 1 cup heaped for this kaju katli recipe.
- Also never grind the cashew which is cold, taken from the fridge, grind it when it is in room temperature.
- I used milk only as my mixture was dry while kneading. If its fine then no need to add milk while kneading.
- If you add milk while kneading, shelf life is less, so keep refrigerated.
- Use less water to make sugar syrup to get the consistency quickly. While making sugar syrup, keep the flame in medium if you are nearing the consistency.
- If you add cashew powder before the sugar syrup reaches the consistency, then the dough will be sticky. So the sugar syrup consistency is important.
- While powdering, if you grind for more time, the powder sticks and gives a coarse looking powder. But thatโs ok, it will be smoothed when you are kneading. But note that coarse look on result of over grinding โ is different from the real coarse powder. So donโt get confused.
Recipe card
Kaju Katli recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cashew nuts
- ยฝ cup Sugar
- ยผ cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Milk If needed
- Ghee - Just for greasing
Instructions
- Powder the cashews in a dry mixer. Do not grind too long, stop just when you see powder in the lid. Over grinding will make it oily.
- Boil sugar with water and keep stirring.
- Keep little water in a small bowl and just pour few drops in the water to check the consistency.
- If you pour few drops, it should lay a fine thread that doesnโt gets dissolved in water immediately when you touch. Or you can also check between your fingers to see if it forms a string. So it's one string consistency.
- At this stage, lower the flame add the powdered cashew and keep stirring.
- Say for 3-4 minutes in low flame and your mixture gets thick, leaves sides, switch off the flame.
- Smear your hands with water and test by rolling a small pinch of the mixture in between your fingers. You should be able to form a non sticky ball. This is the correct consistency.
- Keep stirring in the pan itself with the ladle and the mixture turns more like a dough.
- When the mixture is still warm, take it to another clean platform/countertop and keep kneading.
- Mine was a bit dry, so I sprinkled some milk and kept kneading.
- The dough was looking grainy till then, but after kneading the dough really became smooth.
- I used gloves for kneading, so if you want you can use little ghee while kneading.
- Roll the dough into thin layer and cut it diagonally to make pieces.
- You can first draw lines lightly with the knife tip and then cut into diamonds to get perfect shapes.

Notes
- Till the end your mixture will not be that smooth, but when you knead theย mixture turns to a smooth dough. So donโt panic like me ๐
Stepwise photos
Powdering cashew:
1. Powder the cashews in a dry mixer. You have to be careful here, just grind it in a stretch, donโt stop in between and grind.
2. Will be sure able to see the powder in the transparent lid, so keep grinding until you get fine powder.
3. This will not take much time. Also never grind the cashew which is cold, taken from the fridge, grind it when it is in room temperature.
4. When I ground 1 cup of cashews, I got more than a cup of cashew powder, but I used 1 cup, heaped(like a mountain) cashew powder.
There was some 2 tablespoon left for me.
Making sugar syrup:
1. Boil sugar with water and keep stirring. Keep little water in a small bowl and just pour few drops in the water to check the consistency.
2. If you pour few drops, it should lay a fine thread that doesnโt gets dissolved in water immediately when you touch.
Or you can also check between your fingers to see if it forms a string.
Making the cashew burfi (Kaju katli)
1. At this stage, lower the flame add the powdered cashew and keep stirring. Say for 3-4 minutes in low flame and your mixture gets thick, leaves sides, switch off the flame.
2. Smear your hands with water and test by rolling a small pinch of the mixture in between your fingers. You should be able to form a non sticky ball. This is the correct consistency.
3. Keep stirring in the pan itself with the ladle and the mixture turns more like a dough. When the mixture is still warm, take it to another clean platform/countertop and keep kneading.
4. Mine was a bit dry, so I sprinkled some milk and kept kneading. The dough was grainy till then, but after kneading the dough really became smooth.
5. I used gloves for kneading, so if you want u can use little ghee while kneading.
6. Roll the dough into thin layer and cut it diagonally to make pieces. You can first draw lines lightly with the knife tip and then cut into diamonds to get perfect shapes.

Ah! The first time I made this I made the same mistake of using refrigerated cashews as I store the cashews in the fridge. Amma was quick to point out my mistake and also the mistake of my adding elaichi essence. So now I can easily say I have mastered it. Clicks are cool and the notes section will be very helpful for first timers.

Hi,
I am new to your blog and all your recipies with pictures are mouthwatering. I am a beginner in cooking, and I tried some of your recipies which turned out great.But when I made Kaju kathli,the final thing was not a dough but it was very dry mixture..what was wrong,pls help me to make perfect kaju kathli like yours...Thanks raks
RAKS KITCHEN
Hi Viji,
May be you stirred for bit more time or you did in higher heat.Another possibility is the sugar syrup consistency. But as I have mentioned in the post, dont worry if its dry. Next time immediately sprinkle some milk and knead well. It will work.
bhakti
I made exactly as per your instructions and I have to admit that Kaju Katli was awesome..I used Varak on them and the final result was outstanding..thanks!!

Thank you so much and appreciate your great effort!

Your mom might be right, also if the syrup passes the above mentioned stage, that could happen.Even if this happens next time, adding milk and knead again for sometime, it will go off.

I tried it yesterday, it came out super good! One question though... Is it ok to allow the mixture to cool down before kneading? And will it come out nice if I used warm water instead of milk if necessary... Pls let me know as I am planning to make large qty tomorrow. Thanks raji, well done.
Raks anand
Yes sure, you can wait until its warm enough to handle. warm milk is not necessary, milk at room temperature will do
Ramya
can we use dry roasted cashews?
Chithra
Hi raji, thanks for your prompt response. I asked if I can use WATER instead of milk if I needed, to make the dough smooth. That way, the shelf life will be more, I thought. Let me know pls. Thanks dear.

Thanks! Wonder why I did not get this recipe before!? It is simple and easy. Just took me around 30 min from start to cutting the diamonds! I think this will be the first recipe where preparation time : consumption time ratio will be justified! ๐

Hello Raks, Thanks very much for posting all the wonderful recipes. Pls clarify one of my doubt. Cooking time after adding Kaju's is only 3-4 mins as mentioned in the recipe..is it ?
Raks anand

Hi Raks! Nice recipe and time saving also. I also make Kaju Katli but in different way. I soak kaju first for 3/4 hrs, then after removing water totally I grind it with sugar until getting it in smooth form. Now this paste is ready to cook, it has to be stirred till the paste leave the pan and form in a dough. Now after kneading you can spread it & cut it as usual.
Sorry for daring to put my recipe here but I just want to share with you

Is the sugar consistency the same as "Single string Patham"?
Attempting this for Diwali. So want to make sure before I start. Thanks in advance.
Raks anand
Yes ๐

Hi raks I tried the recipe Tday and it came out so yum.. But everytime I grind cashew powder am not getting it dry fine powder. Kind of coarse in texture and binding together,almost like dough? Wat I might doing wrong in it?
Raks anand
Use fresh cashew nuts, make sure nothing is wet (mixer, lid and cashews) Do not grind for long time, it will leave out oil.
