Notes

  1. Peda might look oily right after preparing but they turn fine in a few hours
  2. Avoid grinding cashew into a paste texture; Always pulse and grind

  4. I used kewra water but you can use cardamom powder/ rose essence or any flavor of your choice
  5. Sieving the flour helps for perfect peda texture so don't skip it
  6. Mix flour and sugar then sieve and grind; repeat till you get fine flour
