Kaju Katli is one of India’s most loved sweets. It is soft, rich, and made mostly from cashews and sugar. No added colors, no strong flavors, just a clean, melt-in-your-mouth bite that wins everyone over. It is often the first sweet to vanish from the Diwali box.

You will see this sweet gift at weddings, birthdays, festivals, or even just as a gift to say “thanks” or “sorry.” The silver leaf on top gives it that extra fancy look. It is simple but elegant, sweet but not too sweet. That balance is what keeps people coming back.

A video, shared by @foodie_incarnate on Instagram, showing how Kaju Katli is made in bulk recently exploded online. It has racked up thousands of views and is still getting shared across platforms. The clip takes you inside a sweet shop where this classic dessert is made by the hundreds in one go.

The footage shows the full journey. From soaking the cashews, grinding them into a fine paste, cooking the mix with sugar, spreading it into sheets, adding silver foil, then slicing it into perfect diamond shapes.

A Satisfying Yet Surprising Process

It all starts with the cashews. They are soaked to soften, then fed into a machine that grinds them smooth. No water, no additives, just pure nut paste. That is what makes Kaju Katli feel so rich.

Cool Guy / Once the paste is ready, it is cooked with sugar until it thickens. The mix is spread out into large, smooth sheets.

Then comes the iconic edible silver foil, which is super thin, super fragile. Watching it go on in one smooth motion is weirdly satisfying.

The final step is the cut. Workers slice through the sheet with giant knives, forming rows of perfect diamonds. No rulers, no stencils, just skill. It is quick, clean, and oddly mesmerizing.

By the end, there are stacks of shiny sweets, all neatly arranged. It is like watching edible art being made in real-time. For many viewers, it was a reminder of just how much effort goes into something we often take for granted.

The video triggered a flood of comments. Some people were filled with nostalgia and admiration. They praised the craft and drooled over the final product. Others were not so forgiving.

Viewers pointed out that handling food at scale doesn’t excuse carelessness. “Would you eat that off the floor?” one comment read.

Netizens Raise Concerns About Purity and Quality

Another red flag for some was ingredient purity. One comment labeled Kaju Katli as “the most adulterated sweet nowadays,” sparking a side debate on food quality. With rising awareness about food safety, more people now question what exactly goes into their favorite treats.

Eca / A lot of eyes noticed that the sweets were sometimes placed directly on the ground. That raised hygiene concerns.

There is a growing fear that some shops may cut corners to save cost, adding starches or fillers to stretch the cashew mix. While the video didn’t confirm any such issues, the concern speaks to larger trust problems with bulk sweets.

It is clear that the people making the sweets have serious skills. The process is smooth, fast, and practiced. You can tell they have done this a thousand times. But even with all that talent, one hygiene slip is all it takes to sour the public’s view.
