Indian sweets are more than just desserts—they are a celebration of culture, festivity, and tradition. At Sree Gupta Bhavan, one of Chennai’s most beloved sweet and vegetarian food destinations, these timeless delicacies are crafted with care, purity, and the finest ingredients. Among their bestsellers are three saffron-infused gems that stand out in both flavor and heritage: Kesar Kaju Katli, Kesar Katli, and Kesar Peda.
Let’s explore what makes these sweets so irresistible and why they deserve a spot in your next festive box or personal indulgence.
Kesar Kaju Katli: The Royal Fusion of Cashew and Saffron
One of the most cherished sweets in India, Kaju Katli is known for its smooth, melt-in-your-mouth texture and mild sweetness. At Sree Gupta Bhavan, this beloved classic gets a luxurious twist with the addition of pure Kesar (saffron)—transforming it into Kesar Kaju Katli.
Made from premium cashew nuts ground into a fine paste, slow-cooked with sugar, and delicately infused with saffron strands, this sweet exudes both richness and elegance. The addition of kesar not only enhances the color but also imparts a subtle aroma and flavor that elevates the sweet to another level.
Perfect for Diwali gifting or weddings, Kesar Kaju Katli is a true royal treat that reflects both tradition and refinement.
Kesar Katli: A Pure Saffron Delight
For those who want to experience saffron in its full glory, Kesar Katli is the ultimate indulgence. Unlike Kesar Kaju Katli which is cashew-based, Kesar Katli is more about letting saffron take center stage.
Every bite of Sree Gupta Bhavan’s Kesar Katli is rich with the essence of handpicked saffron, making it a luxurious and aromatic treat. The texture is soft and smooth, and the flavor is perfectly balanced—not too overpowering, yet unmistakably royal.
This sweet is ideal for those who appreciate subtlety and sophistication. Whether served to guests during festivals or gifted in an elegant box, Kesar Katli leaves a lasting impression.
Kesar Peda: Tradition Wrapped in Flavor
If there’s one sweet that has stood the test of time in Indian households, it’s the Peda. Soft, grainy, and incredibly flavorful, Kesar Peda at Sree Gupta Bhavan is a beautiful tribute to India’s dairy-rich desserts.
Prepared using full-fat milk, saffron, and a touch of cardamom, the peda is gently shaped into bite-sized rounds and garnished with slivers of pistachio or almond. The result? A rich, creamy sweet with a divine golden hue and the unmistakable aroma of kesar.
Kesar Peda is especially popular during religious ceremonies, baby showers, and as a prasad during festivals. Its taste brings comfort and joy to all ages.
