This laddu is very easy and simple to make, but too tasty.

Cashew nuts (broken into small pieces) - 1-2 tablespoons
Cardamom - 3-4 (powder the seeds)
Method:
Sieve the powder, dry roast it on a low flame, in a clean non stick pan, until the raw smell goes off. Powder slightly changes to golden brown, then switch and allow it to cool.
Sieve the powdered sugar, cardamom powder and add it to it.
Heat 1-2 tablespoons of ghee and fry the cashew nuts to golden brown, and add to it.
Add ghee in smaller amounts and mix well, until you can make small balls of laddu.
