Keto Kaju Katli

Keto Kaju Katli is a low-carb, nut-based Indian dessert that offers the rich, creamy flavor of cashews without the high sugar content. Perfectly sweetened with natural sweeteners, this treat is both satisfying and guilt-free.

Ingredients

• Raw cashews - 100 grams
• Erythritol or monk fruit sweetener - 3 tablespoons
• Unsweetened coconut milk - 2 tablespoons
• Cardamom powder - 1/4 teaspoon
• Ghee (clarified butter) - 1 tablespoon
• Silver leaf (varak) - for garnishing (optional)

Steps

1. Soak the raw cashews in warm water for about 2 hours, then drain and pat dry.
2. Blend the soaked cashews in a food processor until they form a smooth paste, adding a little coconut milk if necessary to achieve the right consistency.
3. In a non-stick pan, heat the ghee over low heat and add the cashew paste, erythritol, and cardamom powder.
4. Stir continuously for about 10-15 minutes until the mixture thickens and starts to leave the sides of the pan.
5. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly, then transfer to a greased plate or parchment paper.
6. Flatten the mixture with a rolling pin to about 1/4 inch thickness and let it cool completely.
7. Once cooled, cut into diamond shapes and garnish with silver leaf if desired.
