Cook time -under 30 mins
Yields – 10-12

Ingredients needed

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.
