Kaju Katli, also known as Kaju Barfi, is a popular Indian sweet. The name "Kaju Katli" translates to "cashew slice," and it's an apt description as this sweet is primarily made from cashew nut paste. The paste is sweetened with sugar and sometimes flavored with a hint of cardamom. The mixture is then rolled out into a flat sheet and cut into characteristic diamond shapes. A distinctive feature of Kaju Katli is the edible silver leaf, or "vark," which is often applied to the top of each piece, giving it a shimmering, elegant appearance. The sweet has a smooth, melt-in-the-mouth texture and a rich, nutty flavor, making it a favorite for festivals and celebrations. The image shows a golden bowl filled with perfectly cut Kaju Katli pieces, with a bowl of raw cashews in the background, highlighting the main ingredient.
