It should be fine milk powder, do not use the low fat or fat free dry milk that we get at a lot of grocery stores. I like using Nestle NIDO milk powder or bob’s red mill milk powder. Milk Powder: to add to taste and texture, I have used milk powder in both the cashew and pistachio dough. Sugar: for this recipe, we are using 2 types of sugar- powdered sugar (also known as icing sugar/confectioners sugar) for the pistachio dough and regular white sugar for the cashew dough. Pistachios: just like cashews, we need unsalted and unroasted pistachios. This mithai looks complicated but it actually needs few ingredients!Ĭashews: use unroasted, unsalted cashews for these rolls. If you have always wanted to make these at home, then I have got you covered. Although I was always partial to the boxes filled with motichoor ladoos! They would be a huge hit among my friends and family. I remember during Diwali, we would get these beautiful mithai boxes filled with kaju katli and these kaju pista roll. Kaju=cashews and pista=pistachios in Hindi so these are sweet rolls made with cashews and pistachios. This sweet actually looks intimidating to make but it is definitely not as difficult as it looks.

He was most excited when I told him I will be making kaju pista rolls for Diwali this year.

Well the fact is that he has a massive sweet tooth and has a long list of favorites so I really don’t know which one is his most favorite but this is right up there. Kaju Pista Roll is one of Sarvesh’s favorite mithai. These rolls have a layer of pistachio dough covered with a layer of smooth cashew dough. Kaju Pista Roll is an Indian sweet made with cashews and pistachios.
