Dry roast aval in a pan and allow it to cool down. Grind it into fine rava in a blender.
Now heat ghee in a pan and fry cashews until golden brown and keep it aside. Now in the same pan pour 2 cup water and allow it to boil. Then reduce the flame and add ground aval in it and stir continuously so that it does not form lumps.
Cook the aval/ poha in low flame and then add food color and cardamom powder in it and give it a good stir. Now add sugar in it and mix well.
Finally add the fried cashews and ghee and put off the flame. Serve it hot or cold!
