1 c. cracked wheat 2 drops food coloring (yellow) 2 c. sugar 15 cashew nuts 1 1/2 sticks butter
Soak 1 cup of crocked wheat (which is sold in Indian stores) in 2 cups of water for 24 hours. Strain water and grind wheat well in a blender adding as much of the water as needed. Pour the mixture through a strainer and separate the milk. Let the milk settle for a while and remove the plain water which would be on the top of the milk. Make.a syrup by mixing 2 cups of sugar with 1/2 cup of water and heating it for about 5 minutes. Then pour the wheat milk and the food coloring and keep on stirring for about 30 minutes. Add the butter. Break cashews into small pieces and saute them in a teaspoon of butter until golden brown and add that also. When the mixture comes to the consistency of a gum, ghee will separate itself and will be floating on top. Remove from heat and drain off the ghee. Can be served hot or cold.
