Preparation
Heat 1 tbsp ghee in a small pan and fry the cashew nut bits until golden brown. Keep aside.
Grease a 4-5” round pudding mould or cake tin with ghee. Sprinkle 2 tbsp sugar to cover the bottom of the tin. Hold the tin with a pair of tongs over a medium flame. The sugar will melt and then caramelise.
Gently swirl the tin so that the caramel coats the bottom.
In a food processor, combine the paneer broken into pieces, sugar, cardamom powder and rava. Blend to a smooth paste. Use 1-2 tbsp of milk if the paneer is very dry.
Remove this paste into a bowl. Combine with the fried cashews and raisins.
Scrape this over the caramel layer in the prepared tin.
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 25 minutes until a skewer comes out clean and the top is a dark golden brown.
Allow to cool in the tin for an hour. Run a knife around the sides, loosening the cake from the tin.
Turn over into a dish and cut into wedges.
Serve warm.
