Into a deep kadai, add sugar and one cup of water and bring it to a boil over medium heat to create a sugar syrup.

Add broken cashews to the boiling sugar solution and stir till all the sugar dissolves.

Meanwhile, in a separate bowl,mix the corn flour with one cup of water and a few drops of food colour. whisk this into a lump free smooth slurry.

Lower the heat and stream in corn flour mixture a little at a time. Mix continuously at this stage. Add in the entire amount of the mixed slurry and still keep up with the gently mixing and folding.

Soon you will notice the edges bubble up and turn transparent. Fold them in and keep going with the stirring.

the mixture will thicken and become a bit jelly like. now it gets harder with the stirring. but keep at it,till all the corn flour turns jelly like.

Add in the ghee and the cardamom powder and stirring in it again... the is process will approximately take 20minutes.

Once it all looks glassy, pour into a greased plate. Sooth the top using a greased cake knife or a banana leaf and allow to cool.

Using a sharp knife cut into pieces, the shapes you like and serve.
