Turn off the flame and let it cool for 3-4 minutes
Grease a plastic sheet, transfer the prepared mix over sheet
Grease your palms with ghee and knead it for few minutes
Roll it out into a desired thick round shape using a rolling pin
You can also place a sheet over it to prevent dough sticking to rolling pin

Now melt dark chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave
Cut the transfer sheet to kaju katli size
Apply melted chocolate on kaju katli and place the sheet over it
Peel the sheet after 15-20 minutes
