This looks really yummy! Do you think cashews could be a substitute for pista? I’m not sure where I could find pista in my area. 🙂

Cashews can be used.. I only avoid them as they carry more calories..Pistachios are usually available in Indian stores and sometimes even in super markets at Nuts section..hope it helps
