Enjoy the crispy, layered texture of Sweet Kaja, a traditional Andhra sweet made from flour and ghee, soaked in sweet syrup, perfect for those who love a flaky, melt-in-your-mouth experience.
Kaja – Kakinada (often called Kakinada Kaja) is an iconic Andhra sweet from the coastal city of Kakinada in East Godavari. Its modern popularity is closely tied to the Chittipeddi Kotaiah family, who began selling it in 1891 and later moved to secure a Geographical Indication (GI) tag to protect the sweet’s legacy. Within the broader “kaja” tradition, Kakinada’s hallmark style is the gottam kaja—a hollow, cylindrical pastry that’s crisp outside and syrupy within—while the nearby village of Tapeswaram is famed for the layered madatha kaja variant. Together they represent a cherished Telugu confectionery heritage enjoyed at festivals and for gifting.
