Kaju halwa/Cashew pudding

Ingredients
Raw Cashew nuts - 1 cup
Green cardamom - 2
Milk  (I used ALEXANDRE FAMILY FARMS Organic, Cream Top Whole Milk,  about 48 FZ)

Sugar - 4 tsp or to taste
Saffron a pinch
Ghee - 1/3 tsp for smell

Method

1. Bring milk to boil. Reduce flame and make it thicker.
2. You may add milk powder.
3. In a coffee grinder, add cashew and cardamom and make a powder. You can also use this to make badam milk.
4. Add the dry ground cashew and cardamom powder in batches while stirring so that no lumps are formed. Cook for another 15-20 mins or until all raw cashew is cooked.
5. Add saffron strands and a little ghee when it is almost done. Kill the flame. Let it cool and then serve. You can top it with ghee roasted cashew.
