This is my mix.exs file

  use Mix.Project

      deps: deps()
    ]
  end

I have downgraded kaffe version and deleted deps and _build again and compiled the entire project but i still keep on getting same issue

I had problems with Kaffe just a few months ago on Erlang 27. Are you using that? Have you tried with 26?

My Elixir OTP version is 26 in my windows machine.
