To check if the sugar solution has reached the required consistency, take a little bit of syrup in the back of your Spatula and try stretching it between your index finger and thumb. If this forms a fine string, then the required consistency is reached. (This is a very important step ).
Then Add Cashew powder and stir on medium low gas . It would be a little sticky but sugar will start hardening rapidly. It should look like sticky soft dough.
Turn off the gas and stir continuously otherwise it might be burn.
Now Take the Cashew dough to the greased surface and knead it gently with greased palms for few seconds.
Take a small glass bowl and add a few drops of red food colour.
