Paalu Mithai (Milk Sweet) Recipe

Heat the ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat; fry the cashews in the ghee until golden brown about 5 minutes. Scrape onto a cutting board to cool leaving some of the ghee in the pan and return the pan to the stove. When the cashews are cool chop coarsely.

Mix the milk sugar and semolina flour into the ghee remaining in the pan. Bring the mixture to a boil; reduce heat to low and cook stirring frequently until the mixture becomes very thick 30 to 45 minutes. Stir the cardamom into the mixture.

Lightly grease a rimmed platter. Pour the milk mixture onto the prepared platter and spread into an even layer. Sprinkle the chopped cashews over the mixture. Score the mithai into squares and allow to cool completely before cutting.
