Step 1
Grind the 2 cups cashews in a food processor until they form a fine powder, about 1 minute. Do not over-process or they will release oil.
Step 2
In a heavy pan, combine the 1 cup sugar and 0.25 cup water. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until the sugar dissolves and the syrup reaches a one-string consistency, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Add the ground cashews, 0.5 cup milk powder, and 2 tbsp ghee to the syrup. Stir continuously over low heat until the mixture thickens and pulls away from the sides of the pan, about 8-10 minutes.
Step 4
Transfer the mixture to a greased plate or tray. Spread it evenly to about 1/2-inch thickness using a spatula.
Step 5
While still warm, press the 2 tbsp chopped pistachios onto the top. Let it cool completely, about 30 minutes.
Step 6
Cut into diamond or square shapes and serve.
