Mango katli can be made as a sweet treat for you and your family when mangoes are in season. Learn how to prepare this sweet with full video and step by step pictures.
Ingredients
Cashew nuts – 1 cup
Sugar – 1/2 cup
Ripe mango puree – 1/4 cup
water – 1/4 cup
Cardamom – 2
Ghee – 1 tsp
Pista – 10
Method:
- Grind cashew nuts in a dry mixer to make it as a powder. Cashew nuts should be at room temperature. Make sure to powder the cashews well to a fine powder.
- Scoop out the pulp from mango and grind it smoothly. Take 1/4 cup from it.
- In a heavy bottomed pan, start heating water and sugar and boil until one string consistency. If you check a drop of the syrup between your fingers, it should form a string without breaking in halfway.
- Add the mango pulp to the syrup.
- Stir in powdered cashew and mix well.
- Continue heating until the mixture turns as a single thick mass. Switch off the stove and transfer to a clean countertop.
- When the mixture is warm enough to handle, knead the dough until smooth.
- Spread it out using rolling pin, placing the mixture in between butter paper.
- Roll out thickly and cut into diamonds.
Notes:
- Make sure to follow the measurements, especially the mango pulp.
- The taste and colour purely depends on the mango variety. I have used alphonso.
- Kneading helps in making the katli smooth.
- Give enough time to cool down before tasting.

Either the sugar syrup consistency not perfect or mango puree was too much 🙂
