- 1 cup besan [gram flour]
- 1/4 cup ghee
- 1/2 cup sugar powdered (sold in Bombay during festival times as 'Pithi Saakhar')
- 1/2 tsp cardamom powder
- 10 cashew nuts ghee halves of fried in a little for decoration
In a large microwave safe bowl, mix the besan and ghee. Microwave on HIGH for 5 minutes stirring well every one minute. [increase 2 more min if your machine power is low.
Once the flour seems slightly darker in colour and richly aromatic, remove from oven and allow to cool completely. This will take upto half an hour.
Once cooled, add 1/2 cup powdered sugar [NOT icing sugar], with cardamom powder into the roasted flour. Knead well to mix and shape into 10 balls pressing a slice of fried cashew on top.
These will harden as they cool. Store in airtight container.
