First, dry-roast half a cup of sticky rice in a pan until fragrant, then soak it along with 7-8 whole cashews in warm water for about 30 minutes. After draining, transfer them into a blender with half a cup of fresh coconut and blend into a silky-smooth paste.
In a heavy-bottomed pot, gently melt a quarter cup of sugar over low heat without stirring initially. Once it liquefies into a glowing golden-brown caramel, carefully stir in a small splash of water to smooth it out before pouring in the milk.
The recipe requires sticky rice, full-cream milk, fresh coconut, cashews, sugar for the caramel and extra to taste, cardamom powder, ghee, and chopped dry fruits for garnishing.
