Enjoy the rich, creamy texture and delicate floral aroma of Kaju Kesar Barfi from Shri Annapurna Sweets. Made with cashews, real Kashmiri Mongra saffron, pure desi ghee, sugar, and green cardamom, this traditional Indian sweet combines the natural richness of cashews with the distinctive fragrance and golden hue of saffron.
Each piece is finished with pistachio slivers and edible vegetarian silver leaf, creating an elegant diamond-shaped sweet with a regal appearance. Available in a 1 kg pack, Kaju Kesar Barfi is a thoughtful choice for festive celebrations, family gatherings, special occasions, and premium mithai gifting.
Saffron has never been an everyday ingredient in an Indian kitchen — it is what you bring out when something is worth marking. In Kashi that instinct runs deep: kesar goes into the milk on a festival morning, into the kheer at a wedding, into whatever is being sent to the house of someone you want to honour. Adding it to kaju barfi is not decoration; it is a statement about the occasion. The saffron itself comes from Pampore in Kashmir, where the crocus is still picked by hand at dawn and each flower yields three crimson threads — which is why real kesar has never been cheap, and why so much of what is sold as kesar mithai has never met a saffron strand. Ours has. This is the box we send out most in Diwali and wedding season, and the one our regulars ask for by name when plain kaju barfi feels too quiet for the moment.
The barfi base is made the way it always has been — whole cashews ground fresh, cooked into a one-thread syrup, kneaded warm on marble until the surface turns satin. The saffron is where the care goes. Kashmiri mongra strands are bloomed in a spoon of warm milk for a full twenty minutes so the colour and aroma release properly, then folded into the mixture off the flame, right at the end. Add kesar too early and the heat burns off exactly the fragrance you paid for. Because the colour comes from the bloom and not from a bottle, the finished barfi is a soft, uneven pale gold rather than a uniform bright yellow — that unevenness is the proof, not a flaw. Slivered pista, a whisper of green cardamom, hand-beaten vegetarian silver warq, and a diagonal cut into diamonds finish it.
• Cashew nuts (W240 grade)
• Sugar
• Kashmiri saffron (mongra kesar)
• 100% pure desi ghee
• Green cardamom
• Pistachio slivers
• Edible silver leaf (vegetarian warq)
Contains: Cashew nuts, pistachios, milk (ghee). No artificial colour, essence or preservative. Made in a facility that also processes other tree nuts and wheat.
Keep in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight and anything strongly scented — saffron aroma fades fast in open air, and cashew picks up neighbouring smells. Do not refrigerate: the cold dries the edges and flattens the fragrance. Leave the butter paper between the layers, and finish within the shelf life printed on the pack for the aroma at its fullest.
