Raw Rice   1/2 cup     Full Cream Milk  2 cups     Water 1 cup      Sugar candy | Kalkandu  1/4 Cup     Cashew nuts    Few     Ghee 2 tsp    Cardamom powder   A pinch(Optional)
Method:

Wash the rice and add 2 cups of milk and 1 cup of water. Pressure cook this in a big vessel so as to avoid the milk flowing out from the vessel.  I used a vessel in which i can cook 3 cups of rice. Pressure cook till 5-6 whistles and keep the flame in low for 10 minutes. the rice must be cooked by now. Mash this nicely with the back of a ladle so that the rice will get mashed.

In a pan add ghee and fry the cashew nuts it becomes golden brown. Keep it aside. Now add the kalkandu to this. Add little water so that the kalkandu will melt.  Since i put big one it took time to melt and by the time it started crystalising , no need to panic. Just add the mashed rice to this. Keep the flame low.

Mix well and let it cook for 5 minutes in low flame. Add the roasted cashew nuts.

Switch off the flame and serve hot.
