Sujan Fun Kitchen is in a festive mood for the Navratri! Cashew nuts in moderation is beneficial to health - rich in copper, zinc, magnesium and phosphorus. So, indulge in Kesar Kaju Katli occasionally.
"A popular ingredient finding its way into many Indian gravies, cashew - a plant originating from Brazil, is a nut high in minerals. Brought to India by traders, the cashew tree grows up to exceptional heights having a rather irregular trunk. Hanging from the branches are large juicy apples at the bottom of which are attached the cashew nut. Made available round the year, the nut has a great shelf life if stored properly. The nut and the fruit, both have multiple uses. The nut, often known as the poor man’s plantation although now it is sold for steep prices, is used to make delectable and rich curries and also roasted and eaten dry. They are an intrinsic part of our festive celebrations too. Just imagine how incomplete Diwali celebrations would be without 'kaju ki barfi'. "
