Indian Kaju or cashew nut is native to subtropical climate but is widely available across the globe. This tiny kidney bean shaped nut is the powerhouse of an array of nutrients. Cashew nuts are used mostly in Indian desserts and traditional preparations to enhance their taste. Although its puree is extensively used to make thick and creamy gravies with a distinct flavour, kaju is also used to garnish a variety of other dishes too. Not only in India, kaju is very famous in other parts of the world as well.
