A delicious and easy-to-make Diwali sweet using cashew nuts, sugar, and cardamom. It involves grinding cashews, making a sugar syrup, and shaping the mixture into diamond-shaped pieces. Perfect for festive celebrations.
1: Pulse cashew nuts in a blender to make a slightly grainy powder, blending in intervals to avoid oil release.
2: Sieve the powder and re-blend any coarse bits; store in an airtight jar if needed.
3: In a nonstick pan, add sugar and water; stir to dissolve on medium heat and bring to a one string consistency.
4: Gradually add the cashew powder while stirring constantly to avoid lumps, cooking until thick and leaves the pan.
5: Pour the mixture onto a greased surface, knead when warm until smooth, and add edible silver on top.
6: Roll to 1/4-inch thickness and cut into diamond shapes; let cool completely before serving.
