Kaju Katli

Kaju katli is a popular Indian sweet made from ground cashews, sugar, and ghee, known for its smooth, melt-in-your-mouth texture and diamond shape. It’s a symbol of luxury and prosperity, often served during festivals like Diwali and other celebrations, and is frequently given as a gift. While its exact origins are debated, it is widely believed to have originated in the Mughal era, possibly as a favorite among royalty. Kaju katli is made from ground cashew nuts cooked with sugar syrup and ghee until it forms a dough-like consistency. The mixture is then rolled thin, cut into diamond shapes, and often decorated with edible silver foil.The sweet is celebrated for its rich, nutty flavor and incredibly smooth, creamy texture, which differentiates it from many other sweets.
