¾ -1cup water

freeze cashews for 3-4 hours prior to grinding

Keep stirring until it forms into a soft dough-like consistency. You know it’s ready when u take a small portion of the dough and roll it into a ball in between your fingers easily without stickiness.
Cool for a few mins and transfer onto butter paper ( I didn’t have so used a greased thali)
Roll out using a rolling pin or with a hand
Add silver foil / Kesar etc
Let it cool for at least 2-3 hours in room temp ( not fridge)
