Ingredients
For the Kaju Katli
- 1 cup Cashews powdered
- 1/2 cup Sugar
- 1/4 cup Water
- 1 1/2 tsp Rose Water essence
- Few drops Food Coloring pink
- 1 Tbsp Milk
For the Decoration
- Chocolate baking, as needed, white
- Silver Edible Balls for decoration
Instructions
- In a non-stick pan, combine the sugar and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Continue to cook, without stirring, until the syrup reaches a one-string consistency. This means that when you touch a small amount of syrup between your thumb and forefinger, a single, thin string forms.
- Add the powdered cashews, rose essence, and pink food coloring to the syrup. Mix well until the mixture thickens and forms a dough-like consistency.
- Add the milk and mix thoroughly. The milk helps to keep the dough pliable for shaping.
- Lightly grease your palms with ghee or unsalted butter. While the kaju katli mixture is still warm (but cool enough to handle), take 1 tablespoon of the mixture and shape it into a smooth ball.
- Flatten the ball between your palms to create a thick, round disc for Minnie's face. You can make it slightly oval if desired.
- Take ½ tablespoon of the kaju katli mixture for each ear. Shape each portion into a ball, then flatten into a disc. Make a small indent in the center of each ear using your finger.
- Attach the ears to the face. The warmth of the kaju katli will help them stick together.
- Repeat the process to shape the remaining kaju katli mixture.
- Refrigerate the shaped kaju katli for 30 minutes to firm up.
- Melt the white baking chocolate according to package instructions. You can use a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
- Dip a chopstick or toothpick into the melted chocolate and create Minnie's facial features: eyes, nose, and mouth. Add polka dots around the ears and in the ear indents.
- Let the chocolate set completely before serving. Decorate with edible silver balls, if desired.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For a richer flavor, toast the nuts before adding them to the recipe. This enhances their natural oils and creates a more complex taste.
- Adjust the sweetness and spices to your preference. If you like a spicier dish, add more chili flakes or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- Don't overcook the dish, as this can make the ingredients mushy. Cook just until everything is heated through and the flavors have melded together.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop.
