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
