  1. Blanch the pistachios in two cups of hot water for five minutes. Drain, peel and grind coarsely.
  2. Cook the khoya in a non-stick pan, stirring continuously, for about ten minutes. Set aside to cool. Add the cashew nut powder and sugar, and knead to a smooth mixture.
  3. Divide the mixture into two equal parts. To one part add the coarsely powdered pistachios and cardamom powder.
  4. Take half the plain cashew nut mixture and roll it into a four-by-five-inch rectangle.
  5. Take half a portion of the pistachio mixture and roll it into a five-inch long cylinder. Place it at one end of the cashew nut rectangle and roll up the cashew sheet enclosing the pistachio roll.
  6. Use the remaining cashew nut and pistachio mixtures to make a similar roll.
  7. Gently press silver foil on the rolls. Cut into two-inch pieces and serve.
