Ingredients
500 gms Cashewnuts (you can buy the broken variety, they are cheaper)
225 gms sugar
8 - 10 cardamoms (deseeded and powdered)
1 cup water
1/2 cup milk
3/4 tbsp pure ghee
8 - 10 almonds and pistas each (finely chopped)
Procedure
Grind cashnew nuts in a mixer to a powder. Please be careful not to over grind, as oil will start to come out. Grease a large round steel plate / thali and keep aside. Place a thick-bottomed non-stick kadai on the flame. Put sugar and water and heat. As soon as the sugar dissolves, put in the milk, reduce flame and boil. In a minute or two you will have a frothy layer on top with some dirt particles. Remove the frothy layer with a seive and let the sugar syrup boil on low flame till its sticky and of one-string consistency. Now put in the ground cashew nuts, cardamom powder and pure ghee. Mix well for a couple of seconds and put off the flame.
Immediately remove mixture on a greased thal. Pat with hand to flatten and make a circle of 1 cm thickness. Sprinkled chopped almonds and pistas and press with hand. Allow to cool. Cut into diamond shaped pieces and serve.
