Ingredients:

• 100 g – cashews, soaked in water for 1.5 hours
• 100 g – powdered Sugar

3. Add the sugar to the kaju paste and stir well to mix the sugar.
4. Turn out the paste in a pan.
5. On a medium flame, stir the mixture constantly till the mixture starts leaving the sides and coming together.
