Instructions:
Roast the Besan: Heat ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan. Add besan and roast on low flame. Keep stirring continuously for 10–12 minutes until the mixture turns golden brown and aromatic.
Prepare the Sugar Syrup: In a separate pan, bring water to a boil. Add sugar and crushed cardamoms. Stir until the sugar completely dissolves. Keep it hot.
Mix Syrup into Roasted Besan: Slowly pour the hot syrup into the roasted besan while stirring constantly. Be careful—it may splutter a bit.
Cook to Perfection: Stir well until the mixture thickens and starts leaving the sides of the pan. This takes about 5–7 minutes.
Garnish and Serve: Transfer to a bowl, garnish with chopped nuts, and serve warm!
Tip: For an extra festive touch, add a pinch of saffron or rose water to the syrup.
