Kaju Katli (Cashew fudge): Vegan

Kaju Katli is a popular Indian dessert by default as main ingredients of this recipe are cashew and sugar. To reduce the cost, Kaju Katli available in the market also contains milk/milk powder and animal fat like ghee and decorated with silver foil, so I prefer to make it at home. It has a unique taste and always cut into diamond shape. It is made thin as compared to other fudge.

Ingredients

• Cashew nuts 2 cups
• Sugar 1 cup
• Vegetable oil 1-2 tbsp
• Water little less than 1/2 cup

Procedure

• Keep Cashew nuts in the fridge and make a powder out of it. Do not over grind otherwise it will convert into a paste.
• Pass through a sieve to get the fine powder.

• Make sugar syrup and boil it for 5 minutes.

• Add cashew powder and mix well to make a smooth dough.
  

• Let it cool down and roll it immediately between plastic sheets before it gets hard.

• Vegetable oil can be used whenever it becomes sticky.

• Cut into the diamond shape. If it is soft will last 2-3 days at room temperature and if hard will last for a week.
