Ingredients

Serves : 5
  • Cashew nuts 1 cups


  • Sugar 1/2-1/8 cups


  • Rose food colour 1/4 tsp


  • Red food colour 1/4 tsp


  • Green food colour 1/4 tsp


  • Rose essence 2-4 drop


  • Vanilla essence 2-4 drop


  • Water 1 cups

Directions

  • Powder the cashew nuts to a fine powder in a mixer
  • Measure 1 cup of the powdered cashew nut
  • In a heavy bottomed pan, prepare sugar syrup first with 1/2 cup sugar and 1/4 cup water in an oven at 250°c for 10
  • Bring to one string consistency
  • If you check a drop of syrup in between your forefinger and thumb, a string will form
  • Add rose essence, rose and red food colour to this
  • Add powdered cashew and keep mixing
  • At a stage, it will start leaving the sides of the pan
  • Check if its right consistency by greasing your hands with water and if you roll a small pinch of the cashew mixture, you will be able to roll a non sticky ball
  • Keep mixing to get a thick dough
  • Transfer to a clean kitchen counter top
  • When the dough is warm enough to handle, you can use few drops of ghee to grease your hands if needed and knead the dough to make it smooth dough
  • If it seems dry, add one or two tsp of milk
  • Knead to make it smooth and divide the dough to 12 equal sized balls
  • Shape it to cones that resemble strawberry
  • You can use a fork or tooth pick or any tool to press and make it look like a strawberry
  • I have used a peeler to give the impressions to resemble the strawberry looks
