Heat a pan and dry roast cashew nuts over a low flame for 4-5 minutes.
Turn off the flame and keep them aside.
Take jaggery and little water in a pan and keep mixing.
When the jaggery is completely melted, strain the syrup to remove any impurities if needed.
Boil the syrup until thick and soft ball consistency.
To check the consistency, drop little bit of syrup in water and you should be able to gather the syrup and make a ball.
Now add ghee and cardamom powder and mix everything well.
Reduce the flame to low and add the roasted cashews and keep mixing for 2 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat and continue mixing for another 5 minutes until you get a thick mixture.
Transfer to a greased plate and flatten it with greased hands or rolling pin when it is still warm.
Cut into pieces if needed.
Store in an airtight container.
