Ingredients

1 large can(s)	condensed milk (not the “light” version)
350 g	sugar
50 ml	water
1 tsp	cardamom seeds, freshly ground
1 tsp	vanilla extract
50 g	cashew nuts

Instructions

In a pan, roast the cashew nuts until golden brown. If you prefer to use the Microwave, roast at medium power for 45 seconds, switch off and leave for 30 seconds and then roast for further 45 seconds. Allow the nuts to cool down, then crush them into not too small pieces and set aside.

Coat with butter a shallow dish, pyrex preferred.

In a non-stick saucepan dissolve the sugar in the water (add a little more water if necessary). Slowly heat the pan, add the condensed milk and cook stirring continuously for about 15 minutes. Stir in ever 1 teaspoon of Vanilla and Cardamom. When the mixture starts to crystallise and has got a nice golden colour, mix in thoroughly the chopped cashew nuts.

Pour the mixture into the buttered dish and flatten with a spatula or a spoon. Allow to cool a bit, then cut into squares or diamonds with a sharp knife (dip the knife now and then into cold water, wipe dry and go on cutting).

Makes about 50 toffees of average size. Enjoy the roasted cashew flavour with your toffees!
