Mix and rub (Ghasa): Using your hands, start rubbing the mixture together firmly. This is the most important step, known as 'ghasa'. Continue rubbing for 5-7 minutes. The warmth from your hands and the moisture from the coconut will help melt the jaggery, which will coat the poha and soften it slightly. The mixture should become moist and well combined, but not mushy.
Add flavorings: Add the ghee, cardamom powder, and black pepper powder to the bowl. Mix everything together one more time until evenly distributed.
Garnish and serve: Transfer the Chuda Ghasa to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped cashews if you like. Serve immediately for the best texture.
