1 c. cashews (raw) 1/2 c. water 1/2 c. milk 1 stick butter 1 1/2 c. sugar 1/2 tsp. cardamom
Soak raw cashews in 1 cup of hot water. Then grind it in a blender adding 1/2 cup of milk into a coarse paste. Mix 1 1/2 cups sugar with 1/2 cup of water and make a syrup over medium heat. When the syrup comes to a string consistency, add the ground cashew paste. Keep on stirring constantly. Add the butter gradually. After the mixture comes to a thicker consistency (when it bubbles and doesn't stick to the pot), add cardamom and then pour it in a pan. When cool, cut it into pieces.
