'''Kaju katli''' (literally "cashew slice"), also known as kaju barfi, is an Indian dessert similar to a [[barfi]]. ''Kaju'' means [[cashew]]; barfi is often made by thickening milk with sugar and other ingredients (such as dry fruits and mild spices). ''Kesar kaju katli'' includes saffron.<br />
<br />
The dish is prepared with cashew nuts soaked in water for a considerable period of time (usually overnight), which are then ground to a paste. [[Sugar]] solution is boiled down until a single thread forms when two fingers are dipped into it and pulled apart, after which it is added to the ground cashews. [[Ghee]], [[saffron]] (''kesar''), and [[dried fruit]]s may also be added.<ref>{{cite book|last=Bladholm|first=Linda|title=The Indian grocery store demystified|url=https://archive.org/details/indiangrocerysto00blad|url-access=registration|page=[https://archive.org/details/indiangrocerysto00blad/page/175 175]|isbn=1580631436|date=12 August 2000}}</ref> The paste is then spread and flattened in a shallow, flat-bottomed dish and cut into bite-sized diamond-shaped pieces. The pieces are usually decorated with [[Vark|edible silver foil]]. The finished sweet is usually white or yellow in color depending on the ingredients used for the paste and the proportions of each used. Katli is traditionally eaten during [[Diwali]].<ref>{{cite book|last=Kapoor|first=Sanjeev|title=Sweet Temptations|publisher=Popular Prakashan|isbn=8179915700|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=gJ9Z8oasi5AC&q=kaju+katli}}</ref><br />
