Also known as sweet cashews, this confection combines the rich flavors of cashew nuts with the sweetness of jaggery (Bellam). This treat offers a perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors, making it a popular choice for special occasions.

Do you remember the mornings of Holi or the evenings of Dussehra, when dad used to bring Bellam kaju home and we used to be all over him to give us one before mom came because she wouldn’t let us have it before pooja?

Or how when you passed your most difficult exam, dad bought a box of Bellam kaju for all at home but you devoured it all alone? Well, we have all done these silly things when it comes to sweets!

Today, let us explore the world of the kaju Bellam sweet or Bellam kaju and discover how this delectable sweet is made and what are its benefits.

Let us begin with the ingredients:

At G Pulla Reddy, for any sweet, the highest quality ingredients are only used. We do not compromise on quality and hence \derive the unmatched taste!

For Bellam kaju, the primary ingredient is kaju and Bellam of course! 

At G Pulla Reddy, we use High-quality cashew nuts. They provide a rich, creamy texture and a nutty flavor that complements the sweetness of the jaggery.

The preparation method:

• The preparation of Bellam Kaju involves roasting cashew nuts until they are golden brown and aromatic. This step enhances the natural flavor of the cashews and adds a crispy texture.
• Jaggery is then melted to form a syrup-like consistency. The roasted cashews are mixed into the jaggery syrup, ensuring that each cashew nut is coated evenly with the sweet jaggery mixture.
• Once coated, the Bellam Kaju mixture is allowed to cool and set, resulting in bite-sized pieces of sweet and savory goodness.

And now that we have prepared the sweet, let us discover the flavor profile and the benefits of Bellam kaju.

The rich buttery and nutty texture of cashews mixed with the earthy sweetness of jaggery provides you with a sweet flavor profile. The roasting process adds a bit of smokiness that gives a savory taste. The combination of sweet and savory flavors makes Bellam Kaju an irresistible treat for those with a sweet tooth, as well as those who enjoy the nutty goodness of cashew nuts.

Now that you know all about how it is prepared and what to expect when you take a bite, here’s what you should know about its benefits!

• Cashew nuts are a good source of protein, healthy fats, and essential nutrients such as magnesium, phosphorus, and zinc. They provide energy and support overall well-being.
• Jaggery contains iron, which helps in the production of red blood cells and prevents iron deficiency anemia. It also offers other minerals and antioxidants that contribute to good health.

While some might argue that sweets are not healthy, Bellam Kaju at G Pulla Reddy is one such sweet that carries the whole argument’s weight on its shoulders and shouts healthy!
