1. 1

   Heat a pan with tsp of ghee firstly and fry the cashews till golden brown. Keep aside.

2. 2

   Then in the same pan, add the aval and fry till golden brown in low or medium flame. Keep aside.

   After that, boil 1 cup milk plus 1 cup water. I added 2 cups milk as I wanted it to be rich. See note 1.

   Heat until dissolved and filter to remove any impurities.
