From Kaju Katli to Curries: The Versatility of Cashews

A Nut That Knows No Bounds.
Cashews — soft, creamy, and buttery — are one of India’s most loved ingredients. But they’re far more than just a fancy snack. From the royal kitchens of Mughal-inspired gravies to festive platters of sweets, cashews have quietly ruled the Indian culinary scene for centuries.

At Welza Foods, we believe this mighty nut deserves the spotlight. So let’s take a tour through the many forms and flavors of cashew magic — and why Welza Whole Cashews belong in every kitchen.

🍬 Sweets That Shine: Cashews in Indian Mithai
Cashews are a foundation in many traditional Indian sweets:

Kaju Katli: Silky smooth, diamond-shaped perfection made almost entirely from ground cashews.

Halwa & Laddoos: Crushed cashews add richness and bite.

Payasam/Kheer: Lightly fried in ghee and used as a topping for texture and flavor.

Barfis: From coconut to chocolate, many barfis include cashew paste for creaminess.

No festive thali feels complete without the presence of this creamy nut.

🍛 Curries That Crave Creaminess
One of cashews’ most magical culinary powers? Their ability to transform sauces.

Shahi Paneer, Korma, Malai Kofta: Cashews are soaked and blended to form the rich, velvety gravies that define these royal dishes.

Butter Chicken: Even non-veg favorites often rely on cashew paste for that signature silkiness.

Vegan & Jain Recipes: Cashews are an excellent substitute for cream or onions, adding depth without dairy or garlic.

They offer richness without overpowering flavor — a rare gift in the spice-packed world of Indian cuisine.
