Mixed Nuts Katli Recipe 🌰🍬
Cook Time: 40 minutes
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 55 minutes
Servings: 8
Ingredients:
- 25g cashew nuts
- 25g pecans
- 25g pistachios
- 25g almonds
- 1 tsp cornflour
- 1 tsp rose essence
- 1 tsp ghee
- 1 cup condensed milk
Instructions:
-
Soak the Nuts:
- Begin by soaking all the nuts separately in warm water for 3-4 hours. This will help soften them for blending later on.
-
Blend the Nuts:
- After soaking, drain the nuts and grind them together into a very fine paste using very little water if needed. Aim for a smooth consistency to ensure a creamy texture in your katli.
-
Prepare the Surface:
- Grease a marble or wooden surface with ghee. This will prevent the katli mixture from sticking as you work with it later on.
-
Combine Ingredients:
- In a bowl, mix together the condensed milk and the ground nuts paste until well combined. This will serve as the base for your katli mixture, providing sweetness and binding the nuts together.
-
Cook the Mixture:
- Transfer the mixture to a non-stick pan and cook it on medium flame. Stir continuously to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
-
Thicken and Reduce:
- As the mixture cooks, it will begin to thicken. Once you notice this happening, reduce the flame to avoid overcooking. Continue stirring until the mixture starts to leave the sides of the pan.
-
Add Cornflour:
- Sprinkle the cornflour over the mixture and stir well to incorporate. This will help further thicken the katli mixture and give it a smoother texture.
-
Final Touches:
- Once the mixture is well-cooked and reaches the desired consistency, remove it from the heat immediately. Stir in the rose essence for a fragrant aroma.
-
Shape the Katli:
- Transfer the mixture onto the greased marble or wooden surface. Use a greased roller to roll it thinly and evenly. This will ensure that your katli has a consistent thickness throughout.
-
Decorate and Cut:
- If desired, spread a silver sheet (silver warakh) over the rolled katli mixture for a decorative touch. Then, use a sharp knife to cut it into diamond-shaped katlis or any other desired shape.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Your Mixed Nuts Katli is now ready to be served and enjoyed! Serve it as a sweet treat during festive occasions or as a delightful dessert after meals.
