    Ingredients:

    Custard Powder : 1 cup ( I used vanilla flavour )
    Sugar : 3 cups
    Water : 4 cups
    Ghee : 3 tbsp
    Cashews : 10 - 15

    Method :

    1. Grease
    a plate with a little ghee and set aside.

    2. Fry the cashews in a teaspoon
    of ghee and keep them aside.

    3. Mix the custard powder, sugar and water
    without any lumps.

    4. Heat the pan with the custard powder mixture and stir
    it continuously to avoid lumps till it becomes thick.

    5. Add the ghee to
    it and mix it very well till the mixture becomes jelly and transparent.
    Now add the fried cashews and switch off the flame.

    6. Pour the mixture
    into the greased tray and let it cool down completely. Cut into pieces
    and serve.
