Cashew Nut(Kesar) Barfi Preparation
Take 200 grams of cashew nuts. Grind them at a pulse mode in batches.
Transfer the ground mixture into a bowl. Ensure the cashew nuts are ground to a fine powder.
Add 1 tsp of milk powder and mix all the ingredients well.
Add ¼ cup of water and 60 grams of sugar to a pan. Stir until the sugar dissolves in the water.
Boil the mixture till one string of sugar syrup is formed. Turn off the gas flame.
Add some saffron, prepared cashew nut mixture, and ¼ tsp cardamom powder into the sugar syrup.
Mix until all the ingredients are well combined. Initially, the mixture may be slightly sticky(due to cashew nuts).
Spread the mixture in the pan and bring them back together. Continue this process for a few minutes. This way, the excess moisture will dry out, and the mixture will be non-sticky.
