    • Instructions

    Can I skip milk powder?

    I would recommend milk powder for the perfect peda texture. Always grind cashews with milk powder

    How long should I grind Cashews?

    Grounding cashews help with the dough texture. however, avoid over-grinding as it oozes out oil and makes peda oily. Always pulse a few times and grind once; mix well in between the grinding.

    CAN I USE REGULAR SUGAR?

    No always use powdered sugar for no-cook cashew peda. I have used store-bought powdered sugar. If you don't have it,  grind sugar first; keep aside then grind cashews and milk powder separately then grind with all other ingredients

    can I skip sieving?

    sieving helps for perfect peda texture. Grinding cashew at once might turn them oily so grind then sieve. Repeat till you get smooth flour

    CAN I REDUCE POWDERED SUGAR?

    Yes, adjust according to your taste.

    Is 2 tablespoon water enough for the binding?

    Yes, knead well the oil in cashew helps for the binding. Avoid adding more water as it might affect the dough texture.

    Can I skip kewra water?

    Yes, you can use cardamom powder, rose essence, or any other flavor according to your choice.

    Can I use milk instead of water?

    Milk will reduce shelf life. I would recommend water for longer shelf life.

    I DON'T HAVE PIPING MOLD, HOW TO MAKE A IMPRESSION FOR munthiri sweet?

    Flower impression is optional, you can skip it. You can also use peda mold like milk peda instead or cookie press might also work for impression.

    Should I refrigerate the cashew fudge?

    It stays good at room temperature for up to one week. You can refrigerate for longer shelf life.
