Take cashews in mixer.
Pulse it 3-4 times till it is finely powdered. Don't grind too much as cashews will release oil.
Take sugar and water in a pan.
Allow it to boil till sugar dissolves.
Keep boiling in low flame and check the sugar syrup consistency. It should reach one string consistency. When you take sugar syrup between your index and forefinger it should form one string.
Now add the powdered cashews to it.
Keep stirring in low flame without burning.
Add ghee to it and keep stirring till it comes together.
When you take little dough, you should be able to form balls without sticking.
Switch off the flame.
Immediately transfer to parchment paper or plate coated with ghee.
Keep mixing dough till it is warm enough to handle.
Now knead and form smooth dough.
Place the dough between parchment paper.
Roll them to thin sheet.
Slice them as per your wish.
Store in airtight container.
Enjoy the kaju katli

Don't grind cashews too much as it will release oil.

You can sieve and grind cashews again to make it fine.

If the mixture is too dry, you can add few drops of milk to make the dough smooth.

If the mixture is sticky you can cook for some more time.

You can add some flavorings like cardamom powder or rose essence if you wish.

Ghee is optional but it makes your dough smooth and soft.

I find it easy to roll using parchment paper as it won't stick much. Grease your hands with ghee.
