Method

In a vessel add water and sugar.Bring it to boil.Once the sugar dissolves add mihi dana and stir.keep stirring frequently and cook in a low flame.Now add cardamoms and food colour.Since I have prepared in 2 colours you can repeat the procedures using different both the food colours.Once all the water evaporates,switch off the gas.Serve hot or cold garnished with cashewsnuts.
