Ingredients

• 1 cup Granulated Sugar (fine white sugar)
• 13 pieces Cashews (raw or lightly toasted, roughly chopped before grinding)
• 1 cup Grated Coconut (freshly grated or frozen, unsweetened)
• 5 pods Cardamom Pods (seeds removed and ground to a fine powder)
• 1 cup Roasted Chickpeas (peeled and lightly roasted, then ground to a fine powder)
• 1 cup Milk Powder (any brand, full‑fat preferred)
• 1 tablespoon Ghee (clarified butter, melted)
• 6 tablespoons Milk (whole milk, room temperature)
• Few drops Green Food Colour (gel or liquid, food‑grade)

Instructions

1. Grind Base Ingredients

   In a clean food‑processor jar, add 1 cup sugar, 13 cashews, 1 cup grated coconut, and 5 cardamom seeds. Pulse until everything is finely ground into a uniform powder.

   Time: PT5M

2. Add Roasted Chickpeas

   Peel the roasted chickpeas (remove outer skins) and add them to the same jar. Pulse again until the chickpeas are completely powdered and blend with the previous mixture.

   Time: PT3M

3. Incorporate Milk Powder and Ghee

   Transfer the powdered mixture to the mixing bowl. Add 1 cup milk powder and 1 tbsp melted ghee. Stir with a spatula until evenly combined.

   Time: PT3M

4. Form Dough‑like Consistency

   Gradually pour 6 tbsp milk into the bowl while mixing with your hands. Knead gently until the mixture holds together like a soft dough and can be rolled.

   Time: PT4M

5. Divide and Colour

   Split the dough into two equal portions. Keep one portion plain. To the second portion, add a few drops of green food colour and knead until the colour is uniform.

   Time: PT2M

6. Roll the Plain Portion

   On a lightly greased surface, roll the plain half into a thin sheet (about 3‑4 mm thick). Cut into long strips about 2 cm wide and set aside.

   Time: PT3M

7. Prepare Green Roll Base

   Place the green‑coloured dough on a plastic sheet and gently flatten it with the rolling pin to a similar thickness as the plain sheet.

   Time: PT2M

8. Assemble Rolls

   Lay the plain strips on top of the green sheet, then fold the green sheet over the strips, sealing the edges gently with your fingers.

   Time: PT3M

9. Chill

   Transfer the assembled roll onto a plate, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to set the shape.

   Time: PT30M

   Temperature: 4°C

10. Cut and Serve

    Remove the roll from the fridge. Using a sharp knife, cut the roll into bite‑size pieces (about 2 cm thick). Arrange on a serving platter and enjoy.

    Time: PT5M

• Evenly incorporating green food colour without over‑mixing.
• Chilling the assembled roll for at least 30 minutes before cutting.

Chef Tips from the Video

• Toast the cashews lightly before grinding for a deeper flavour.
• Use fresh grated coconut for the best aroma; frozen works in a pinch.
• For a natural green shade, replace food colour with a pinch of matcha powder.
