Ingredients:
Cashew nuts - 1 cup and 6-7 cashews
Sugar -1/2 cup
Cardamom powder -1/4 tsp
Saffron stands - 4-5 (optional)
Water - 1/4 cup
Ghee -2 tsp
Preparation Method:
First powder cashew nuts. Things to be noted while powderin. Do not powder it immediately after taking it from the refrigerator. Bring it to room temperature. I dried my cashew nuts well before powdering.If you follow the 2 steps, you will get perfect cashew nut powder.Grease a plate with ghee and keep it aside.In a non stick pan, add water and sugar. Boil till the sugar dissolves. When it starts boiling, add saffron strands, cardamon powder and cashew nut powder.Mix well and cook on low flames. Add 2 tsp ghee and cook till the mixture leaves the sides of the pan. The mixture should not stick to your hands. You should be able to make a soft ball out of it.That is the correct stage to switch off the flame. Then put the mixture on a greased plate and flatten it with a spatula. I greased the flat surface of a cup and used it to smooth out the mixture or you can roll out thinly with a rolling pin.Cut into diamond shapes after it cools a little. Do not cut when it is hot. Also use a sharp knife for cutting.
