Preparation + cook time: 50 Mins   |  Makes : 15 to 18

Ingredients

For Pista dough

  • Pistachios – 1/2 Cup
  • Sugar – 1/4 cup (Powdered)
  • Green Food colour – 2 Pinch
  • Water – 1 tblsp

For Kaju / Cashew Dough

  • Cashew Nuts – 1 Cup
  • Sugar – 1/ 2 Cup
  • Rose Water – 2 to 3 drops (optional)
  • Water – 1/4 cup
  • Ghee – 2 tsp
Method

1. First get ready with the ingredients for pista dough. Be sure there is no moisture content in the pista. This is important, else the pista’s become like a paste while grinding. Grind the pista’s in a mixer / blender into powder, just grind it in one stretch without stopping in between. Sieve the pista powder and add it to a mixing bowl. Then add powdered sugar to it.

4. Once bubbles starts to appear, start stirring. Do everything on low flame, till one string consistency is reached. Don’t boil further, else the kaju roll turns hard. Now add cashew powder.
Kaju Roll Recipe Steps45. Mix well, till the sugar syrup and cashew powder incorporates well. Cook in low flame only, until the cashew paste leaves the sides of the pan and forms a whole mass. Add 1 tsp of ghee and if preferred add rose water at this stage. Switch off flame. Take a wooden board, place a butter paper over it. Transfer the cashew paste and drizzle little more ghee.
Kaju Pista Roll Recipe Steps56. When the dough becomes warm, knead the dough gently until smooth. Also don’t over do it and knead it before it cools down. Divide the cashew and pista dough into two portions. First place the cashew dough over the butter paper and press it slightly.
Kaju Pista Roll Recipe Steps67. Then cover it with another butter paper and roll the dough with a rolling pin, till slightly thick. Cut the rolled cashew dough into two halves. Now take the pista dough and roll it to a long log with your palms. Keep the pista log in the long corner of the rolled cashew.
Kaju Roll Recipe Steps78. Now start rolling it tightly. Cut it into two halves, as the logs will be too thick. In the same board roll each log to make it thin. It elongates and becomes smooth. Slice both the edges and cut the log into equal sized cylinders. Let it set for 2 hours to become firm.

Tips

1. Ensure both the cashew and pista are in room temperature, else it becomes a paste when grinding.
2. Don’t use cashew and pista directly from fridge, as it contains moisture when kept inside.
3. If you doubt there is moisture in the nuts, slightly dry roast it in a pan.
4. Always grind the cashew and pista in one stretch to get fine powder.
5. Also don’t grind for longer, else it becomes a paste.
6.Sieve both the cashew and pista powder for smooth dough.
7. If the powder is little coarse when grinding it’s ok, as we sieve it and becomes smooth while kneading.
8. Use a non-stick pan / thick bottomed pan to avoid burning and easy cooking.
9. One string consistency is very important. Don’t boil further than one string consistency, otherwise kaju dough becomes hard.
10. If the kaju dough becomes hard, add 2 tblsp of water and reheat again in low flame.
11. Also don’t knead both the dough hardly, else it starts releasing oil.
12. If the dough becomes dry, sprinkle little milk and knead it again. But milk reduces the shelf life.
13. Always knead the dough when it is warm itself, else it will be difficult to roll.
14. Pista can skipped and it can be made as kaju roll recipe only.
15. Shelf life of this kaju pista roll recipe is 4 to 5 days.
