  • How to make Kaju Katli in Instant PotWhen you want to make the best kaju katli recipe you will ever taste, follow these simple steps:
  • First, add the sugar and water to the inner pot and mix well.
  • Next, close the lid, seal the vent and pressure cook for 10 minutes at high pressure followed. Once it is done, do a quick release of pressure.
  • When the pressure is released, open the lid of the Instant Pot and then add ghee and almond or cashew flour. Once added, stir the ingredients together until it forms a thick paste and starts leaving the sides. If it still looks runny saute for an additional 2 minutes.
  • After 2 minutes, pour or scoop out the thick paste from the pot onto a silicone mat or greased thali.
  • Using a spatula, spread it evenly until it is about ¼ of an inch thick.
  • Next, place parchment paper on the dough and roll with a rolling dough to make it even.
  • Once even, garnish with a spread of edible silver leaves covering the entire area.
  • Finally, give it about 10 minutes to set and use a pizza cutter or knife to cut the fudge into diamond shaped pieces.
