Step 3

After 6 to 7 minutes of cooking the mixture, add the crushed almonds, and continue stirring (the step of continuously stirring is the most important part of the process, as it avoids any formation of lumps and gives the Dodol its unique texture) for half an hour making sure the edges do not burn, now add the cashew nuts.
