More Indian sweets

Preparation

• 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)

• .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.

• 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.
