Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with some ghee.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mawa, castor sugar, and cardamom powder. Mix well until the sugar is evenly distributed.
3. Add the chopped nuts (almonds and cashews) to the mawa mixture and mix until they are well coated.
4. Press the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth it out.
5. Bake the Mysore Pak in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until it’s lightly browned.
6. Remove the baking dish from the oven and let it cool slightly.
7. Once the Mysore Pak has cooled slightly, cut it into diamond shapes. This is the traditional shape of Mysore Pak.
8. Serve your Mysore Pak warm or at room temperature. You can accompany it with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of cardamom powder for extra flavor and texture.
