This tasty Cashewnut Macaroons can be done at home with ease.Very special and a popular sweet of my husband's native place Tuticorin,Tamil Nadu.This will look like a white-crispy dewdrop when perfectly baked and will melt in ur mouth if properly done.U can try this recipe with Coconut(dessicated or grated or coconut milk Powder). Strict Vegetarians can try it Using Cornflour for Egg whites but it won't come as tasty as the Egg added Macaroons.Try this recipe at home and Enjoy Ur Teatime!.BonAppetit!.
