  • Then take the dough on a rolling pin and roll it at ยฝ inch thickness in an approximate round shape to get thick flaky cashew.
  • For cutting out cashews, take a small, clean cap from a bottle with almost 1 -1.5โ€ณ inch diameter. The smaller the diameter, the better shapes you will get. I took out the cap of a medicine bottle and sterilized it and then used it for my cutting.

  • Heat oil in a pan, Fry them on low-medium heat till they turn golden brown or crispy. Turn them in between to fry on all sides equally. This takes time and patience
