Kaju Roll, also known as Cashew Roll, is a popular and delectable Indian sweet made primarily from cashews (kaju). It is a cylindrical-shaped sweet with a soft and creamy cashew filling, often garnished with silver leaf or edible silver foil for an elegant presentation.
To prepare Kaju Roll, cashews are ground into a fine powder or paste. This cashew paste is then mixed with powdered sugar, cardamom powder, and a small amount of ghee (clarified butter) to enhance the flavor and texture. The mixture is kneaded until it forms a smooth, pliable dough.
The dough is then rolled out into a thin, rectangular sheet. The cashew filling is spread evenly over the sheet, leaving some space at the edges. The sheet is carefully rolled, tightly enclosing the filling and creating a cylindrical shape. The ends are typically sealed by pressing them gently.
