Homemade Kaju Katli Recipe

Homemade Kaju Katli Recipe with step-by-step guide and pictures- Cashew nuts, known as Kaju in India are not only eaten freely with relish but are also utilized in making curries and kurma or korma where crushed kaju is allowed to be cooked, along with meat or vegetables. However, the renowned Indian dessert made from kaju and known as Kaju katli or kaju barfi is a gourmet’s delight. Yet another form in which this heavenly nut is involved is Kesar kaju Katli that includes the use of saffron. However, this adaptation of kaju katli is considered to be more exotic and rich, as compared to regular kaju katli.

Indian desserts you will like Bread Gulab Jamun, Aate Ka Halwa, Nariyal Ki Barfi, Meetha Daliya, Mishti Doi etc.

However, kaju katli is not only offered in Indian homes during ceremonies and pujas but are also sent to overseas friends and relations as Diwali gift and Christmas offerings. Being made of pure ingredients kaju katlis have a long shelf live and do not deteriorate quickly. Why; kaju katli is a common item of gift in marriages among a certain sect of Indians.

I love sweets so can’t resist myself to offer you some like Chocolate barfi, Gulab Jamun, malai kulfi, bread rasmalai, Rabdi at Home, etc.

Incidentally, kaju katli isn’t so difficult to prepare as it may seem at the beginning. This exclusive Indian dessert item is prepared with raw cashew nuts soaked overnight in water and then ground to paste. Sugar is boiled separately and checked for the right consistency, after which it is appended to the kaju paste and cooked for sometime till found ready for cutting and finishing. This, however, is achieved when the whole thing is spread on a flat surface, usually a flat-bottomed dish and cut into bite-sized pieces resembling the shape of diamond as it appears on such playing cards. Those destined for outsiders or friends and relations living far away cities or towns are decorated with edible silver foils.
