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).
