John,
it is normal milk out of a carton. Yes it is a very rich preparation because of high calory content of Cashew nut. An occasional indulgence may not harm you. |

It happens!
Dont buy this stuff from any Jaldirams or self proclaimed Bikaner Sweet Houses. Good Cashew is expensive so those shops use substandard Cashews & adulterate it with ground nuts & other stuff. It is very easy to make this at home otherwise go to a reputed shop. |
