Some Tips To Make These Kaju Katli Perfect.

1. Choosing Cahewnuts – This is very important for any recipe that you choose the right ingredients for your recipe. I recommend that you buy premium quality unsalted cashew nuts. And make sure these cashew nuts are fresh in flavor and taste. Avoid buying stock cashews that smell. You can use split cashews or you may use whole, as you want.
2. Make sure to use cashew nuts at room temperature – But if you store them in the refrigerator or any airtight jar then before using them, just slightly roast them on low flame for a few minutes like 2-3 minutes. Make sure don’t overcook them.
3. Grinding Cahewnuts in a small grinding jar – and blend them for short time like 30-35 seconds. If you blend for a long time then cashews powder turns into the oil so avoid grind them for a long time.
4. Keep the cashew powder texture fine – because this will help to give a smooth texture to Kaju katlis.
