Kaju barfi

Kaju Barfi is an Indian dessert. "Kaju" literally means Cashew nuts and "Barfi" is a type of Indian sweet, which varies in ingredients used but is usually prepared according to a standard method. Barfi is often but not always, made by thickening milk with sugar and other ingredients. It is then spread in a flat, shallow dish and cut into bite-sized pieces. These pieces are sometimes decorated with edible silver foil.

Kaju Barfi is made with cashew nuts soaked in water overnight and ground the next day; then sugar, saffron ("kesar") and other dried fruits are added. However, you can make kaju barfi with only sugar, water, and ghee. It is usually tan. If made with pistachios, it can be green.
