Ingredients

• Besan (gram flour), sifted
  
• Sugar
  
• water
  
• Ghee, hot and melted
  
• Neutral cooking oil (optional, helps reduce cost and improve softness)

Spices & Flavors

• cardamom powder (optional, for aroma)
  
• desi ghee is the key flavoring agent—no artificial essence needed

Instructions

• Grease a square or rectangular tray with ghee and set aside.
  
• Dry roast besan on low flame until aromatic (around 4–5 minutes). Sieve again to ensure smooth texture.
  
• Boil sugar and water in a thick-bottomed pan until it reaches one-string consistency.
  
• Slowly add roasted besan into the syrup while stirring continuously to prevent lumps.
  
• Pour in the hot ghee in batches while continuously stirring. The mixture will begin to foam and leave the sides.
  
• Pour the hot mixture into the greased tray. Level the top quickly before it cools.
  
• Let it cool for 5–10 minutes, then slice into squares or diamonds.
