Steps

30 min.

1

Powder the cashews in a grinder until it's fine powder. (Do not over grind the cashews as they turn oily). Heat a pan over medium heat. Add water and sugar. Let it boil until sugar is completely dissolved.
2

Boil it for one more minute. (You just need a thin syrup). Turn the heat to medium-low and add cashew powder and stir well. Keep stirring continuously until it forms in the dough.
3

Grease a plate with ghee and transfer the dough to it. At this stage, you can add 1 tsp of rose water. Mix well with the help of a spoon. Wait till you are able to handle the heat.
4

Now grease your hand with ghee and knead well for a minute. Spread a parchment paper on a working surface and roll the dough with the help of a rolling pin. Decorate with edible silver varak and cut into diamond shape using a sharp knife.
