Chocolate Kaju Katli Recipe - Chocolate Kaju Barfi

Step 1: To begin making the Chocolate Kaju Katli Recipe, first of all grind the cashew nuts in a blender to make a fine powder

Step 2: Take a heavy bottomed pan, add the sugar and water to it

Step 3: Place it on a medium heat and bring it to boil

Step 4: Once the sugar has dissolved completely, turn the heat down and allow the mixture to boil for a few minutes till it reaches a one-string consistency

Step 5: To test if it has reached the right consistency, transfer a few drops of the syrup on a clean plate, allow it to cool for 15-20 seconds and test it for the formation of a single thread between your thumb and index finger

Step 6: If the syrup has reached single thread consistency, transfer the ground cashew nut powder into the syrup and stir continuously for 4-5 minutes

Step 7: The mix will gradually turn into a thick paste

Step 8: Take the mixture off the heat and allow it to cool to room temperature

Step 9: As soon as the mix cools down slightly, grease your palms with a dash of ghee and start kneading the mix

Step 10: Knead till it is smooth, uniform and like a dough

Step 11: Next, spread a sheet of butter paper on the counter top

Step 12: Place the dough on it and roll the dough out with a rolling pin to a thickness of 5-6 mm, evenly

Step 13: Place a saucepan with water on the heat

Step 14: Place a heat proof bowl over it and melt the dark chocolate over it

Step 15: The heat generated in the boiling water beneath will melt the chocolate gradually

Step 16: Ensure that the boiling water does not touch the heatproof bowl

Step 17: When the chocolate has melted properly, pour it over the rolled kaju katli dough and spread it evenly with the help of a spatula

Step 18: Allow it to cool for some time and then transfer it to a surface and refrigerate it for 15-20 mins

Step 19: This will help the chocolate solidify

Step 20: When the chocolate has set, you can cut the Chocolate Kaju Katlis by making intersecting diagonal lines, so they form the trademark diamond shapes

Step 21: Serve the Chocolate Kaju Katli Recipe along with Angoori Rasmalai Recipe at a festive gathering with family and friends
