Ingredients (for making 25-30 Kaju Katli)

1 and 1/2 cup Cashew nut
1 cup sugar
25 gm Cow Ghee (clarified Butter)
10-15 pieces Burq (silver foil)



Method -
Put the Cashew nuts in a blender or food processor. Make fine powder of the nuts. You may dry roast the Cashew a little before putting in blender.
Make a thick Sugar syrup with one cup sugar and one cup water.
When Sugar syrup becomes thicker, add Cashew powder. Stir continuously, so that no lump is formed. 
After mixing well, when it becomes little thicker, put off the flame and let it get cool and condensed.
Take a 15 inch X 12 inch butter paper, grease it with cow ghee. Spread the Cashew mix all along over it with a rolling pin. Stay it spread for another half an hour.
After half an hour, cut it into diamond shapes, with a knife. Paste Burq (Silver foil) over it.
Keep it in freeze for 8-10 days for future use or you may also serve it immediately!
