Cashew - Pista Roll




Ingredients:-
Cashew nuts- 250 gms.
Sugar- 3/4 cup
Pista- 50 gms.
Green colour powder- little
Powdered sugar- 1 tbsp.
Silver foil- For decoration

Method:-
Cashew Roll:
First cashew nut should be kept under direct sunlight for 2-3 hrs. Then roast it in a kadhai on low flame. Keep it in an oven for 1 minute. Then powder it in a mixer & keep aside. Heat sugar with water in a vessel. Water should be as such that the sugar gets immersed in it. Keep stirring till it becomes one string consistency. Then add cashew powder & stir well till it becomes like a dough. Wait till a ball shaped dough has been formed. Switch off the gas but continue stirring for two more minutes. Then spread the contents over the silver foil & make like a chapati in a chapati roller.
Pista Stuffing:
Dry roast pista & powder it finely. Mix the powdered pista with green colour & powdered sugar. Now spread the pista powder mixture evenly over the cashew roll & roll it as soon as possible because the cashew nut roll will dry soon. Roll up tightly from one end like a mat. Then cut into pieces.
