Method

Slightly roast the gram flour in a pan for 2 minutes with a tsp of ghee.Make sure it doesn't change the color.Powder the cashews in a blender and grease a try with ghee,keep it aside.
In a heavy bottom pan or non stick pan add everything and keep it on a medium flame.Stir it continuously.

At one stage the mixture become thick(after 15-28 mins) now keep the flame low.Continue the stirring process and now it starts leaving the sides of the pan.

Pour it on the greased  tray.When it reaches warm then grease a knife or pizza cutter and mark the lines for the desired shape.

After cooling run the knife one more time on the marked lines and cut it.

Store it in an air tight container after its cooled down completely.

• We like the burfi to be in the fudge consistency if you want it to be harder you can keep in the flame for couple of more minutes. 
• Instead of cashews,almonds can be powdered and added.
• If needed add a tbs of ghee when it become thick and feel harder to stir.
• I made it with 1/2 cup but the measurements given is for 1 cup.
