Random Jotting # 23

Why is it called Kaju Kathli?
Kaju to the best of my knowledge is Cashew, so I have no issues there.
Kathli - when I extrapolate it from Kathlipalam - means banana.
So does Kaju Kathli have some banana mixed in it?

Once upon a time, "kaju kathli" 's was prepared in Kerala and its ingredients were cashew and banana, native of or found abundantly in Kerala.

Days passed, and variations came.So the new kaju kathli neither contains original kaju or kathli.
