5. Dry Milk Powder - 4 tea spoons
Steps for Preparation
1. Grind the whole cashews in the grinder into fine powder.
2. Mix the sugar and the water and put in a boiling pan
3. Boil the sugar water mixture until it forms into a thick syrup (2 thread consistency*)
4. Remove the sugar syrup from the stove and add the ground cashew powder. Mix it well.
5. Now add the milk powder into the mixture.
6. Mix well until it forms one thick dough, which you can roll into the shape of a ball
