Cooking Instructions

Tips & Secrets

  • Pulse the blender carefully; over-grinding will release oil and make the professional cashew powder sticky.
  • Using high-quality whole cashews provide the essential professional flavor profile of authentic Kaju Katli.
  • Kneading the warm dough is the absolute secret to achieving the signature professional-grade glossy and smooth surface.
  • Ensure the sugar syrup is not over-cooked; a hard string will make the professional-grade sweet brittle and tough.
