One of the most loved Indian sweets, a luxurious Indian sweet enjoyed during festivals. Exchanged amongst families and friends. Using only few few ingredients, like raw cashews, sugar and cardamom it all comes together so well into this delicious rich Indian sweet/dessert. I made using my Kenwood Multipro Food Processor with the glass jar attachment, which was perfect to grind the raw cashews into powder. 

Ingredients 

• 220 grams raw cashews 
• 6 tablespoons water 
• 1 tbsp ghee 
• 100 grams sugar 
• 2 pods of cardamom seed’s powdered 

Method 

1. Using your Kenwood Multipro Compact Food Processor with the glass jar attachment on, very gently pulse the cashews into a fine powder, pulse only 3 times for 2 seconds, remove and use a strainer and sift the cashews, separate the hard ones and pulse again. I did this in 3 to 4 batches, do not over crowd the glass jar, because then if you pulse for too long then the cashews will start releasing their oils. Once you repeat the process of pulsing the hard bits as well set aside. 
2. In a heavy bottom nonstick pan add the sugar and water, bring to boil on very low heat, until all the sugar is dissolved and it forms a sugar syrup. 
3. Keep ready two greased parchment paper, use ghee to brush them. 
4. Once the sugar is dissolved and the syrup is ready, add the powdered cashews and cardamom and keep stirring until it comes together. This process will take good few minutes and a lot of patience. Add the ghee at this stage and continue mixing, you will star to see the cashew paste will begin to leave the sides of the pan. 
5. While it’s still hot add it on the prepared parchment paper, let it cool down. Grease your palm with ghee, Start to knead into a dough while it’s still warm (not hot). Gently tap it using your fingers to spread it out. 
6. Cover with the prepared parchment paper on top and using a rolling pin, roll it into 1/4 inch thick. 
7. Using a knife you can cut into diamond shape or roll into cylinders like I did. 
8. Best stored in an airtight container, or in the fridge but it will harden.
