Ensure the mixer jar is completely dry and add cashews in to it. Grind them to fine powder. I usually keep cashews at room temperature. So the cashews were dry. Do not use refrigerated cashews. I ran the mixer for around 10 minutes at a stretch and obtained little grainy powder.
Heat a wok or pan adding sugar, cardamom powder and 3 tsp of water. In low flame keep stirring it till the sugar dissolves in water. Ensure the sugar is dissolved completely and bring it to rapid boil. Switch off the flame. Immediately add cashew powder. Mix well breaking the lumps with ladle.
Reheat the same wok in low flame and keep stirring the cashew-sugar mix till it thickens, comes together and forms smooth dough. Switch off the flame and transfer the dough on to a plate or flat surface.
Next will move on to prepare the choco layer. Take the reserved 1/4 cup cashew in mixer and pulse it to fine powder.
In the cleaned-up wok add 1/4 cup sugar and 2 tsp of water. In low flame keep stirring it till the sugar dissolves in water. Ensure the sugar is dissolved completely and bring it to rapid boil. Switch off the flame. Immediately add cashew and coco powder.
Reheat the wok in low flame and keep stirring the cashew-coco-sugar mix till it thickens, comes together and forms smooth dough. Switch off the flame and transfer the dough on to a plate or flat surface.
When both dough are hand bear-able warm, you can start kneading them. As you knead, the dough's grainy texture changes to smooth. You can add little ghee to the dough for nice smooth texture. Also you can apply some ghee to your hands while kneading to bear the heat.
Now flatten plain cashew dough using rolling pin on a large parchment paper. Keep it aside and flatten the cashew-coco dough in a similar manner. Next place the flattened coco dough over plain cashew dough. From one end to other, carefully roll them together like a swiss roll. Then using a sharp knife or pizza cutter trim the edges and slice.
Store the kaju choco rolls in an airtight container and enjoy for a week.
