Restated from the original video

  1. 1

    Grind the cashews in a spice grinder in short pulses of a few seconds into a fine powder. Stop before they turn oily or pasty.

  2. 2

    Sift the powder through a medium sieve and regrind any large bits.

  3. 3

    Grease a tray or cut two sheets of baking paper.

  4. 4

    Put the sugar and water in a heavy non-stick pan over low heat and stir until the sugar has fully dissolved, 2-3 min.

  5. 5

    Add the cashew powder and stir without stopping over low heat.

  6. 6

    Keep cooking until the mixture thickens and gathers into one soft mass that rolls around the pan, 8-10 min.

  7. 7

    Tip the mass onto a plate, add the ghee and rose water and let it cool until you can handle it, about 3 min.

  8. 8

    Knead gently with your fingertips until smooth, about 2 min.

  9. 9

    Place the dough between the sheets of paper and roll it out to 3-5 mm (1/8-1/4 in) thick.

  10. 10

    While it is still warm, score it into diamonds with a sharp knife.

  11. 11

    Leave to cool completely, about 20 min, then separate the pieces.

  12. 12

    Keep them chilled in a sealed box and eat within 4 days.
