Kakinada kaja

Kakinada Kaja is a traditional sweet pastry from Kakinada in Andhra Pradesh, India, known for its unique taste and preparation. It comes in two main varieties: the hollow, cylindrical Gottam Kaja and the layered Madatha Kaja, each offering distinct textures and flavours. The dessert holds significant cultural importance in Andhra Pradesh, with efforts underway to obtain a Geographical Indication tag to preserve its legacy. Along with the related Tapeswaram Kaja, it remains a beloved delicacy throughout the Telugu states. Kakinada Kaja originated in 1891 when Chittipeddi Kotaiah established a sweet shop in Kakinada specializing in this dessert. The shop, now operating as Kotaiah Sweets, has expanded its presence with branches in Kakinada and Rajahmundry.
