Best sweets with cashew nuts and almonds

We Indians have a soft spot for sweets, and the ones with cashews and almonds always get a special place. Here are a few you can make at home.

Kaju Katli: the diamond-shaped sweet wrapped in edible silver foil, made from cashew paste and ghee. A Diwali favourite.

Almond Cashew Barfi: the cashew barfi’s cousin, with almond paste, milk and ghee.

Badam Halwa: blanched almonds, ghee and sugar, cooked into a rich South Indian sweet.

Kaju Badam Laddu: a newer festive favourite, and one of the easiest to make at home.
