Flatten the dough and place it on a greased plate.
Place a butter paper on top and then using a rolling pin, roll gently to a  thickness of 5 mm in the dough and removed the butter paper.
Placed the silver foil on top of the kaju katli mixture and press on it and take away the siver foil paper the silver will stick to the kaju katli mixture due to heat and it will give a rich look on top of the kaju katli.
When completely cooled, using a sharp knife cut the cashew dough giving  diamond shapes.
