1

Take 1 cup of cashews. You can use large cashews or broken cashews.

2

Grind the cashews in a mixer. Do not run the mixer continuously; pulse it, pause, and repeat until you get a coarse powder.

3

In a kadhai, add 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water. Turn on the gas.

4

Stir continuously to prepare a one-string sugar syrup. After about 4-5 minutes, check the syrup by taking a drop and testing it between your fingers.

5

If the syrup is sticky but not yet one-string, cook for another minute and check again.

6

Once the syrup reaches one-string consistency, turn off the gas to prevent it from thickening further.

7

Add the cashew powder and a pinch of cardamom powder to the syrup. Mix well while the syrup is still hot.

8

Add 1/2 tablespoon of ghee to the mixture to enhance smoothness and flavor. Mix until it forms a dough.

9

Once the mixture is thick and does not stick to the kadhai, transfer it to a greased plate.

10

Spread the dough with a spatula while it's still warm, then roll it out with a rolling pin to your desired thickness.

11

Let it rest for 30 minutes at room temperature (do not refrigerate).

12

After 30 minutes, cut the set mixture into barfi shapes. If it doesn't cut well, let it set for another 30 minutes.

13

Optionally, you can add silver leaf on top for decoration.
