It is no hidden secret that Indians take their desserts very seriously. Be it the humble Kheer or the delicious Gulab Jamun, Indians have been going ga ga over desserts for ages. No single occasion can go without indulging in decadent desserts for Indians. From rice to dry fruits and milk products, we Indians can make indulging desserts out of anything and everything.
Let’s talk about one of India’s most beloved dry fruits- cashews that you often see in a variety of desserts. The dry fruit is low in sugar, high in fiber, heart-healthy fats and plant proteins. From the ever-tempting Kaju Katli to the delicious Khoya Kaju, Indian cuisine has an assortment of delicious Kaju desserts to be relished. I personally cannot imagine celebrating Diwali without indulging in Kaju Katli. The delectable sweet has a melt-in-mouth texture and delicious flavours. Do you want to move beyond Kaju Katli and try some more desserts made with cashews? Here are seven curated desserts you can try instead.
