Macadamia Nut Katli/Fudge


For over months, I have been thinking of making the macadamia nut fudge/ katli, but never got around to making it. The macadamia nuts were a gift from Hawaii, and we had a cup and a half of the nuts left for me to prepare the katli. After doing a lot of research on how katili's are made, I finally decided to go with the no cook recipe version that is commonly used in making cashew katli. This recipe can be  prepared in less than 10 minutes. I was so happy with how it tasted and the texture was spot on, soft moist and chewy. Macadamia is a nut that has a high fat content. So, I decided to cut them into 3/4 inch cubes and enjoy them guilt free.


Gadgets:

Blender / Mixer
Measuring Cups and Spoons
Plates
Bowls
Cutting Board
Rolling Pin
Knife
Microwave


Ingredients:

Roasted Macadamia Nuts - 1/2 cup
Milk Powder - 1/2 cup
Powdered Sugar - 1/2  cup plus 1 tbsp
Hot Water - 1 to 2 tbsp
Saffron - a generous pinch
Cardamon - 4 pods powdered


Preparation:


1. Blend the macadamia nuts and milk powder in the blender. If you just blend macadamia nuts, it starts to get very oily, so the milk powder helps to keep it dry.

2.  Microwave the powdered sugar for a minute to get it warm.  Make sure to remove the lumps in the sugar. Add the nut mixture to the sugar, using your fingers make sure to mix well so that they are well combined.

3. Finely crush the saffron and add to the mixture along with the cardamon powder and mix well.

4. Add 1 tbsp of boiling water to it and try to make a dough. If you feel the need for another tbsp add 1 tsp at a time, until it comes together into a firm dough. ( 1 tbsp = 3 tsp)

5. Sprinkle a tbsp of powdered sugar on the cutting board. Place the macadamia nut dough on it and flatten it.

6. Roll the dough so that you make a thick layer of 3/4th inch. Cut into 3/4th inch cubes. Store and enjoy.

  2. I like kaju katli. And while it may not be the same, any other katli would still be great.

  10. Hi Sailaja,

    I am glad you tried the recipe. I hope you added the milk powder to the nuts, it does get a little oily otherwise. Also the oil content might vary a little in the variety of macadamia used.

    1. I am sure you can try making it stove top by warming the sugar like they do it for cashew katli.

  13. I have macadamia nuts ( bought to try the nut milk) . This will be a very interesting twist. Can I use the raw macadamia nuts for the katli?

    1. Hi Anju,

      Thanks for the enquires. I have not tasted raw macadamia nuts. I know for cashew katli they use raw cashews, so why not. Taste the nut, if you like the raw taste, add some sugar and taste it. If you like the combo then I am sure the raw nut must work. Let me know how it turned out. Maybe send me a picture so that I can add to my post.
