Directions

Getting ready:

Take cashews and milk in a big bowl and soak it in milk for 2 hours.

Preheat a non-stick pan. Add 2 tsp ghee in the pan and allow it to melt. When the ghee is hot, add cashew-sugar-paneer paste to it. Stir the mixture constantly and roast until it gets thick and dense in consistency. When the mixture gets thick in consistency and ghee starts separating from it then the mixture is ready.

Now add cardamom powder into the mixture and turn off the flame. Take out the mixture is a greased plate. Spread it evenly with a spatula on the plate. Sprinkle finely chopped pistachios over the mixture and press gently with a spoon. Keep aside the barfi to set. Within 2 to 3 hours, barfi sets.
