 Right from Childhood I love milk cream and as I use to help Mom to shape them I use to gobble up so many..lol

The ingredients needed for this is available easily at home so do give it a try and you will love this.Plus it has no eggs so the vegetarians can feast on it too.

Ingredients:
1 litre milk (use full fat for better results)
400 gms sugar
100 gms cashews
rose water as needed
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp white butter/ghee.

Method:
Soak the cashews in hot water for 2 hours.

Drain the water and grind to a fine smooth paste using rose water.

In a heavy bottomed vessel or a good  deep non stick pan boil the milk and reduce till its half of its quantity on a very low flame stirring constantly taking care it doesn't stick to the bottom.

Once it has reduced half of its quantity add the cashew paste and the sugar and keep stirring it continuously.

Add  1 tbsp ghee/butter and continue stirring.

Once it starts leaving the side take a small amount and check if you can roll it into a soft ball if its rolled easily the mixture is now ready.

Shape it in moulds and store in a  airtight container.
