    Difference Between Kaju Katli & Kaju Katli Barfi?

    Kaju katli and Kau barfi are both popular Indian sweets made from cashew nuts (kaju), but they have some differences in their preparation and texture. Here's a breakdown of the differences between the two:

    1. Ingredients: Kaju katli is essentially made of cashew nuts (kaju), sugar, and sometimes a small amount of cardamom for flavoring. Whereas, Kaju barfi is made using cashew nuts (kaju) as well as milk solids (khoya), sugar, and cardamom.
    2. Texture: Kaju katli has a fudgy and smooth texture due to the rich silver leaves. It is typically thin, flat, and diamond-shaped. Kaju barfi, on the other hand, has a slightly grainy and crumbly texture due to the addition of milk solids (khoya). It is usually thicker and cut into square or rectangular shapes.
    3. Cooking process: Kaju katli is made by grinding cashew nuts into a fine powder, which is then cooked with sugar syrup to form a dough. This dough is then rolled out and cut into diamond shapes. Kaju barfi, on the other hand, involves cooking cashew nut powder and milk solids (khoya) together with sugar and cardamom until the mixture thickens. It is then set in a tray and cut into pieces once it cools down.

    Is Kaju Katli Healthy?

    Kaju katli is a sweet dish with a variety of ingredients that are really nutrious. For example, the cashews nuts used can be great source of nutrition.

    However, on the other hand this diamond shaped sweet also has sugar in it. If consumed in a really large quantity, kaju katli isn't a healthy option. Hence, it is always advisable to have it in a limited portion.

    For example, enjoying kaju katli during a special occasion or on memorable events is a great choice.
