Cashew burfi is a favorite of many Indians. This sweet cashew fudge is really easy to make and I try to make it at least once a year. This year I decided to make Cashew Diyas instead. Beautifully decorated with food color, these diyas are absolutely delicious and will be a perfect home-made dessert to serve your guests this Diwali.

What you will need:

How to make it:

• Start a double broiler.
• In a mixer, make a fine powder of the cashews.
• In a vessel, add powdered cashews, powdered sugar, mawa powder, cardamom powder, rose essence, ghee and milk.
• Mix everything well and place on the double broiler.
• Stir continuously until the mixture is warm and the cashews begin to ooze oil.
• Remove from the double broiler and knead the dough thoroughly until it forms a smooth paste.

  

• Apply ghee to your hands, take a small amount of dough and roll into diya shapes. Place a raisin to resemble the flame.
• Get creative and decorate them with food color.
• Enjoy!
