Notes
- Remember not to grind the cashew too much as cashew will release oil and we do not require that.
- Always try to use a spice blender to grind this cashew into a fine powder.
- Always use ghee to make the mixture smooth so I will strongly recommend it but it’s optional too.
- Always use butter paper while rolling the cashew dough, it avoids the dough to gets sticky.
- You can use little water instead of milk while kneading the dough.
- You can use little cardamom powder instead of kweda or rose water whatever is available in your kitchen.
