Enjoy the rich cashew flavour and smooth, delicate texture of Kaju Barfi from Shri Annapurna Sweets. Made with W240-grade cashew nuts, sugar, and pure desi ghee, this traditional Indian sweet celebrates the natural richness of cashews through careful preparation and a simple, classic recipe.
Each piece is rolled to an even thickness, finished with edible vegetarian silver leaf (warq), and cut into elegant diamond shapes. With its melt-in-the-mouth texture and understated appearance, Kaju Barfi is a timeless choice for festive celebrations, family gatherings, special occasions, and premium mithai gifting.
The cashew is not originally ours — it came to India by sea in the sixteenth century, and it was the royal kitchens that first thought to grind it fine, sweeten it and set it in sheets. The name says the rest: barfi, from barf, snow. Somewhere along the way it stopped being a court sweet and became the one India reaches for when the occasion matters and words fall short — the box carried to a first Diwali visit, opened at a wedding, sent to a house where a child has just been born. It is the sweet you give when you want to be certain the giving lands. We have made it at our counter every festive season for twenty-five years, and it is still the box that leaves Varanasi in the largest numbers each October.

Good kaju barfi is an argument about restraint. We start with whole W240 cashews — graded, sifted and ground fresh in-house, never bought in as ready cashew powder, which carries oil that has already begun to turn. The paste goes into a one-thread sugar syrup and is cooked on a low flame to a single precise point: the moment the mass stops sticking and leaves the sides of the kadhai clean. A minute early and it will not set; a minute late and it turns dry and chalky. It is then kneaded warm on marble until the surface goes satin, rolled to an even four millimetres, laid with hand-beaten vegetarian silver warq, and cut on the diagonal into diamonds. No khoya, no maida, no glucose, no artificial colour — cashew, sugar and a little ghee are the whole list.
Cashew nuts (W240 grade)
Sugar
100% pure desi ghee
Edible silver leaf (vegetarian warq)
Contains: Cashew nuts and milk (ghee). Made in a facility that also processes other tree nuts and wheat.
Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and strong-smelling foods — cashew absorbs aroma easily. Refrigeration is not recommended: the cold dries the surface, cracks the edges and dulls the warq. Keep the butter paper between layers so the pieces do not stick, and consume within the shelf life mentioned on the pack.
