Method

1. Grind cashews and almonds into smooth powder.
2. In a deep skillet, melt sugar in 1 cup of water and boil until it forms one string/ thread consistency. When you put the syrup between 2 fingers, it should stretch with 1 string.
3. Add the ground nuts and mix well; keep stirring the mixture until it pulls away from the pan, this will take about 5-7 minutes. Add the ghee (if using) and mix well. Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool for 5 minutes.
4. While the mixture is still warm, knead it to form a smooth and glossy dough. If the dough seems too dry, add a drop of milk.
5. Roll the dough into a tin sheet and cut the katlis into desired shapes. Store in an airtight container for up to 10 days.
