Grind 1 cup of cashews in a blender on pulse mode until you have a fine powder. Do this in two batches to prevent the cashews from releasing oil. Strain the powder. |

Add 1 cup of milk powder, 1/2 to 3/4 cup of Mishri powder, and the cardamom powder to the cashew mixture. Mix everything well. |

Slowly add 3 tablespoons of milk and mix until a soft dough forms. If the mixture is sticky, gently knead with some ghee on your palms. Add a little more milk (up to 2 tablespoons) if the dough is too dry. The final dough should be similar to chapati dough. |

Divide the dough in half. Grind the 1/4 cup of pistachios into a fine powder and mix it into one half of the dough with 1.5 teaspoons of milk. Knead it again to create a smooth pistachio dough. |
