Cashew Fruit Fritters (Kaju modak / Mulik)

Generally these muliks as they are called by some konkanis or modaks ( as they are called at our place) are prepared with banana. Some people prepared them using jackfruit also. On one day my neighbour gave me few cashew fruits to eat so I eat it in raw but it taste should totally different than other ordinary fruits. 

So i plan to prepared sweet with that. Usually we make appam in maida, wheat flour but i think it off to make some more different. Mostly cashew fruits have a very strong smell which is not liked by many of the peoples. I also not a great fan of these fruits.
