  3. Meanwhile, soak saffron in 2 tbsp warm milk and keep aside for a few minutes.
  4. Add cashews, raisins, and soaked saffron to the mango mixture and mix well.
  5. Continue to boil the mixture on medium flame.

  7. Let it cool for about 5 minutes.

  9. The balls should be made when the mixture is still hot.
  10. Cool completely and store in airtight containers.
