Kaju katli

Kaju katri (literally cashew slice), also known as kaju barfi, is an Indian dessert similar to a barfi. Kaju Katri is adored by individuals of all ages.

Kaju katli sweet

==Etiology=="Kaju" is derived from the Hindi word for cashew, while "Katri" and "Barfi" refer to the dessert's square or rectangular shape. This dessert is comparable to the well-known Barfi, which is a dense and sweet confection made with sugar, milk, and dried fruits, among other ingredients.

Consistency

The dough-like consistency of Kaju Katri is created by combining ground cashews, sugar, ghee, and a touch of milk. This mixture is then formed into squares or rectangles and topped with "vark," an edible silver foil. The rich, nutty flavor of the cashews in this dessert is balanced by the sweetness of the sugar.
