Step by step method

  • Prepare Quinoa Flour

    If starting with whole quinoa, dry roast the quinoa until it pops and turns golden, then cool it and grind it into a fine powder.

  • Make Cashew Powder

    Grind the cashews into a fine powder and set aside.

  • Cook Sugar Syrup

    In a non-stick pan, mix water and sugar. Stir on medium heat until the syrup is of one-string consistency.

  • Mix Ingredients

    Add the cashew powder, quinoa flour, and cardamom powder to the sugar syrup. Mix well to avoid lumps.

  • Cook the Mixture

    Cook the mixture on low heat, stirring continuously until it thickens and starts to leave the sides of the pan.

  • Set the Kaju Katli

    Grease a flat plate with ghee and transfer the mixture onto it. Allow it to cool slightly before kneading it into a smooth dough.

  • Shape and Cut

    Roll the dough while still warm to about ¼ inch thickness. Apply edible silver leaf if using, and cut into diamond shapes.
