- Now you can shape the edges a little with the help of a knife a square shape.
- Now refrigerate the tray for at least 2-3 hours, or until the mithai sets completely. Once set, remove it from the refrigerator and cut it into desired shapes – squares, rectangles, or diamonds.

Notes
- Quality of Ingredients: Use fresh and high-quality cashew nuts, betel leaves, and gulkand to get the best flavor in your mithai.
- Blending: When grinding the cashew nuts for the Kaju Katli layer, ensure they are completely dry and do not have any moisture, as moisture can affect the texture of the mithai.
- Consistency: Achieving the right consistency is crucial. The Kaju Katli layer should be smooth and thick like a dough.
- Greasing: Grease your hands and utensils with a bit of ghee when handling the Kaju Katli mixture and while spreading it on the tray or butter paper. This prevents sticking.
- Even Layers: When spreading the Kaju Katli layer, aim for an even thickness to ensure a balanced flavor in each bite.
- Refrigeration: Allow the mithai to set in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours, or even overnight, for the best results. This ensures that it firms up and is easier to cut into pieces.
- Cutting: Use a sharp knife dipped in warm water to make clean cuts. Wipe the knife between cuts for a neater appearance.
- Garnish: While garnishing is optional, it adds an extra layer of flavor and visual appeal. Chopped pistachios, rose petals, or edible silver leaf are popular choices.
- Storage: Store the mithai in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain its freshness. It can be enjoyed for several days when stored properly.
- Experiment: Don’t hesitate to get creative with flavors. You can adjust the sweetness or add a pinch of cardamom powder to the Kaju Katli layer for a different twist.
