Cashew Cascade (Kaju Katli)
Cashew Cascade, known traditionally as Kaju Katli, is an exquisite confectionery marvel that epitomizes elegance and indulgence in the realm of Indian sweets. This luxurious sweet boasts a smooth, velvety texture that dissolves effortlessly on the tongue, releasing the rich, nutty essence of premium cashews. Crafted with meticulous care, Kaju Katli is a thin, diamond-shaped delight, celebrated for its understated sweetness and the silky sheen of edible silver leaf (varq) that often adorns its surface. It's a testament to the art of minimalism, where the natural flavor of cashews is enhanced, not overshadowed, by a delicate balance of sweetness. Perfect for festive occasions, gifting, or as a refined treat to savor, Cashew Cascade is a perennial favorite that bridges generations with its timeless appeal.
Basic Ingredients:
- Cashews: Finely ground into a smooth powder, they form the base and body of Kaju Katli, imparting a rich, nutty flavor.
- Sugar: Combined with water, it creates a syrup that sweetens and binds the cashew powder into a dough.
- Water: Used sparingly to cook the sugar into a syrup.
- Ghee: A touch is used to grease the platform for rolling out the Kaju Katli, ensuring it doesn’t stick and has a glossy finish.
- Edible Silver Leaf (Varq) (Optional): Often used to decorate the top of Kaju Katli, adding an element of luxury and making it visually appealing.
