Kaju Katli is perhaps the most beloved sweet in India, but making it perfectly is a delicate art that requires years of practice. At Bansal Sweets, our master artisans have perfected this recipe over decades.
It all starts with selecting premium quality Cashews (Kaju) from Mangalore. These are finely ground without allowing them to release their natural oils, keeping the powder dry and light. The sugar syrup is prepared to a precise "one-string" consistency, after which the cashew powder is folded in.
The dough is kneaded while still hot to achieve a smooth, glossy, and uniform texture. It is then rolled out evenly and decorated with pure, vegetarian-grade silver leaf (Vark). The result is a smooth, melt-in-the-mouth slice of heaven that is neither too sweet nor too heavy.
