How Kaju Katli fits in your diet
A 1 piece (~15 g) of kaju katli contributes about 4% of a 2,000-kcal daily target and roughly 3% of an average adult's 50 g daily protein floor. Typically made with cashew, sugar, ghee, cardamom.
Diamond-shaped fudge of ground cashews, sugar and ghee — often topped with silver leaf. For a balanced Indian plate, pair it with a protein source (dal, paneer, eggs or chicken), a sabzi and a small portion of curd or salad. Restaurant or street-style versions can run 20–40% higher in calories because of extra oil, ghee or cream — adjust portion size accordingly.
