kaju pista roll recipe | no cook pista cashew roll | kaju katli pista roll with detailed photo and video recipe. an easy and simple indian sweet dessert recipe made with layers of cashews and pistachios dough. it is basically an extension to the popular kaju katli recipe with a topping to pistachios. it is an ideal no-cook sweet recipe, which can be made for any occasions and can be served with friends and family.
in this recipe, i have shown a unique and different way to prepare kaju pista roll. traditionally, it is made in a cylindrical shape with kaju roll outside with pistachios stuffing. also, the kaju based roll is made with one string sugar syrup which makes the recipe complicated. however, in this recipe, there is no cooking step and it is no-cook dessert recipe. basically, i have prepared the cashew and pistachios dough by mixing sugar and milk powder with milk and overlapped each other like a swiss roll. however, there is a disadvantage of mixing the sugar powder directly to cashew powder. it would not solidify and the end result may turn chewy. but when compared to the effort and cooking process, it is still a worth trying this recipe.
furthermore, i would like to add some more tips, suggestions and variations to kaju pista roll recipe. firstly, i would heavily recommend using high-quality milk powder to this recipe. otherwise, it may not turn soft, creamy and also not easy to shape it. secondly, in this recipe, i have shown only the combination of cashews and pistachios combination. you may easily extend the recipe to other dry fruits like almond and walnuts. lastly, before slicing the sweet, you need to freeze it for a minimum of 10 minutes. it helps to set the shape and also does not squeeze when it is sliced.
