Cashew nuts – 1 cup and 6-7 cashews Sugar -1/2 cup Cardamom powder -1/4 tsp (optional) Saffron stands – 4-5 (optional) Water – 1/4 cup Ghee -2 tsp Preparation 1.First powder cashew nuts. This is an important step. Things to be noted while powdering See to it that the cashew nuts are dry. Do not powder it immediately after taking it from the refrigerator. Bring it to room temperature. I dried my cashew nuts well before powdering. Also while powdering, do not operate the mixie at a stretch as the cashews will ooze out oil and will become sticky. If you follow the 2 steps, you will get perfect cashew nut powder.(it should be a bit coarse) 2.Grease a plate with ghee and keep it aside. Method In a non stick pan, add water and sugar. Boil until 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. Cut into diamond shapes after it cools a little. Do not cut when it is hot. Also use a sharp knife for cutting.
