Cashew Barfi

Ingredients:

1. 2 cups of unroasted unsalted cashew - grind this finely in a mixer into soft paste (do not add any water)

2. 1/4 cup milk powder

3. 1/2 cup granulated sugar

4. 1 cup water

5. One pinch of saffron - optional

6. Rose water - 3-4 drops - optional

Preparation:

1. Hand mix very well the smoothly ground cashew powder and milk powder in a  mixing bowl.

2. Dissolve sugar completely in water, and bring it to a boil at high. Stir continuously for 8 minutes until the syrup starts to form a single-strand consistency as you drip it from the spoon.

3. Reduce the heat to medium, and mix  in the cashew+milk powder mix (along with saffron & rose water drops -optional) very well until the syrup is fully blended in.

4. Grease a large flat bottom stainless steel plate or glass plate with some unsalted butter or ghee. Pour the hot mixture into it, and flatten evenly to shape. Let it cool for 30 minutes.

5. Loosen the sides using a knife, and move the cooled mix to your greased counter top. 

6. Roll with a pin to smoothen both sides. Using a large knife, or pizza cutter, cut out equally spaced vertical bars. Run the puzza cutter at an angle to shape the bars into diamond shapes.
