Time: 15 to 20 minutes

Ingredients:
1 + 1/4 cup cashew powder
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup milk powder
1/4 cup milk
1/4 tsp cardamom powder
Silver varakh

Method:
1) Take a glass bowl. Add 1 cup cashew powder, powdered sugar, milk powder, milk and cardamom powder. Mix well and make a lump-free mixture.
2) Microwave this mixture for 2 to 3 minutes. Give a stir after every 50 seconds. Once mixture becomes bubbly, remove it from microwave. Stir occasionally till mixture thickens.
3) Once mixture thickens add little cashew powder (only if needed) to make a pliable dough.
4) Grease a flat surface with little ghee. Roll the dough with rolling pin. Garnish with silver varakh. Cut it into diamond shape.

Tips:
1) Cashew powder should be very fine. If you get little coarse powder then sieve it through a fine mesh. Blend the coarse powder again to get fine consistency.
2) Saffron can be added to give yellowish color and flavor. Soak 2-3 pinch saffron into hot milk. Then use this milk to make the mixture in step 1
3) Milk powder can be substituted with 1/4 to 1/2 cup lightly roasted Khoya.
