Method:
Pour half of the milk in a container, add custard powder and stir to mix. Pour the other half of the milk in another container and heat it till the milk boils.
When milk starts boiling, add the cold milk and custard mix and stir it continuously till the mix gets thick. Add sugar and set aside to cool.
Add apples, bananas and orange and cashews to the cool mix.
