Method

1. 1

   Take 1 cup gram flour and 2 tbsp semolina in a pan. Roast on low flame for 5-6 minutes until raw smell is gone. Do not burn.

2. 2

   In a vessel, take 2½ cups water. Add 2-3 drops yellow food colour and 1 cup sugar. Dissolve sugar on low flame. Boil for 5 minutes. Do not make any string consistency.

3. 3

   In a separate pan, heat ½ cup ghee on low flame.

   

4. 4

   Add roasted gram flour mixture. Fry well in ghee for 6-7 minutes until texture and colour change — yellow and slightly brown.

5. 5

   Add 1 tbsp chopped almonds and 1 tbsp chopped cashews. Mix — the heat of the gram flour will roast them.

6. 6

   Add 2 tbsp milk little by little while mixing quickly. The mixture will become crumbly.

   

7. 7

   Gradually add the sugar syrup little by little, mixing well to avoid lumps.

8. 8

   Add 1 tsp cardamom powder. Mix well.

9. 9

   The gram flour will absorb the syrup. Cook until it reaches the right consistency.

    Add 2 tbsp ghee at the end for gloss and smooth texture.

    Garnish with finely chopped pistachios and rose petals.
