Add 2 tbsp cashew, mix well, making sure all the dry ingredients are well combined.
Now add ½ cup ghee, crumble and mix well. Gently mix the flour and ghee mixture.
Lightly crumble with fingers and get the mixture into dough.
Do not knead the dough, just press and make a soft dough. If you feel the dough is dry, add some ghee or butter. but do not add milk or water, as it makes cookies dense.
Flatten the dough, and roll slightly thick.

Now bake the cookies in a kadai, by adding salt at the bottom of the kadai.
Cook on a medium flame for 12 to 15 minutes or until the bottom of the cookies gets golden brown.
