Kesar Kaju Katli

Kesar Kaju Katli is a luxurious variation of the iconic kaju katli, a North Indian sweet traditionally associated with royal kitchens and festive celebrations. While classic kaju katli is made purely from cashews, the addition of kesar (saffron) elevates it into a premium mithai, historically reserved for special occasions and gifting. Saffron has long symbolized opulence in Indian cuisine, and its pairing with cashews reflects the influence of Mughal-era refinement on Indian sweets.

Kesar Kaju Katli is prized for its silky smooth, melt-in-mouth texture and elegant flavor profile. Finely ground cashew paste forms a soft, creamy base, delicately infused with saffron to impart a subtle floral aroma, warm golden hue, and refined sweetness. Each diamond-shaped piece is carefully cut for uniformity and often finished with edible silver varak, making it visually rich and indulgent without being heavy on the palate.

Kesar Kaju Katli is best enjoyed fresh within a day at room temperature. If refrigerated, it can stay fresh for 3–5 days. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If refrigerated, allow it to rest at room temperature for about 10–15 minutes before serving to experience its optimal texture and flavor.

Kesar Kaju Katli is available in 250g, 500g, and 1kg packs, making it ideal for festive gifting, weddings, and premium celebrations. It is freshly prepared at MithaiCana Bangalore locations in Jayanagar and Marathahalli, and can also be ordered online for convenient pickup or delivery.
