6. Cashew - 4
7. Badam - 2/3
8. Ghee -1/2 tsp to 1 tsp , to fry rasins
9. Cocount - 1/2 cup grated

Method:

2. Smash using spatula and add milk and heat.
3. Once it starts boiling, reduce the flame and add sugar, jaggery. coconut grated
4. Keep it in low-medium flame and stir in between for about 10 mins
5. Mean while, grind cashew and badam and put into the cooker and cook for another 10 mins
