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:

1. 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.
2. Scoop out the pulp from mango and grind it smoothly. Take 1/4 cup from it.
3. 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.
4. Add the mango pulp to the syrup.
5. Stir in powdered cashew and mix well.
6. Continue heating until the mixture turns as a single thick mass. Switch off the stove and transfer to a clean countertop.
7. When the mixture is warm enough to handle, knead the dough until smooth.
8. Spread it out using rolling pin, placing the mixture in between butter paper.
9. 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.
