Notes
You can fry the cashews in ghee and use.
I felt sugar was just correct. But you can use upto 1:3 ratio if you like it more sweet.
I used non stick pan so it was easily coming together. You can use more or less ghee as per your preference.
Make sure corn flour is mixed with water properly. It will settle down if you mix and keep for long time. So give a quick stir before adding to boiling sugar syrup.
