What Is Kaju Katli? (Simple Definition)

Kaju Katli is a cashew-based barfi made by blending ground cashews with a sweetener syrup and ghee. Traditionally, this syrup is refined sugar, making the sweet heavily caloric and high in glycemic load.

Most halwai shops now add:

  • Milk solids
  • Preservatives
  • Silver vark
  • Starch fillers

Sweetveda restores purity by eliminating all these and sweetening exclusively with Misri (rock sugar).
