Why kaju katli calorie numbers differ
Kaju katli is a diamond-shaped sweet of ground cashew and sugar syrup, with a little ghee and kewra essence, set and rolled thin. Because it is almost all cashew and sugar, the variation comes from the sugar-to-cashew ratio and the thickness of the cut, so thin shop pieces differ from thick homemade squares. Count the pieces you eat, since they disappear quickly.
The numbers here are for a standard home recipe at 10 g per piece. Weigh your portion or compare it with that weight.
