- Add the coconut and cook on medium, stirring constantly, for 20 minutes.Constantly. The bottom catches the moment you look away.
- Add the butter and cardamom and keep going until the mixture leaves the sides of the pan in one mass and a drop set in cold water holds its shape.
- Pour into a greased tray, scatter the cashew and press down flat.
