Premium Kaju Katli cashew barfi in a luxury gold gift box with silver vark, scattered cashews and cardamom – Bharat Mithas Indian sweets

What is Kaju Katli?

Kaju Katli — also known as Kaju Barfi or Cashew Fudge — is one of India's most iconic and premium mithai. Made from finely ground cashews (kaju), sugar, and a touch of cardamom, this diamond-shaped sweet is finished with a delicate layer of edible silver foil (vark), making it as beautiful as it is delicious.

Whether it's Diwali, Raksha Bandhan, weddings, or corporate gifting, Kaju Katli is the go-to choice for those who want to gift something truly special.

The Rich History of Kaju Katli

Cashews were introduced to India by Portuguese traders in the 16th century, and Indian confectioners quickly embraced them. Over centuries, the art of crafting Kaju Katli was perfected in royal kitchens and passed down through generations of halwais (traditional sweet makers). Today, it remains a symbol of celebration, prosperity, and premium gifting across India.

What Makes Premium Kaju Katli Different?

  • Cashew Quality: Premium Kaju Katli uses only W240 or W320 grade whole cashews — the finest available — for a rich, creamy texture.
  • No Artificial Flavours: Authentic recipes rely solely on natural cardamom and rose water for flavour.
  • Silver Vark: Pure edible silver foil (vark) is applied by hand, adding a luxurious finish.
  • Texture: The perfect Kaju Katli melts in your mouth — not too hard, not too soft — achieved through precise sugar syrup consistency.
  • Shelf Life: Properly made Kaju Katli stays fresh for 7–10 days at room temperature and up to 30 days refrigerated.
