3. Pour in a ladle of ghee.
4. Put in the besan little by little stirring constantly with a flat ladle such that lumps are not formed.
5. Once the besan and the syrup combine well, add ghee little by little stirring constantly.
6. When the mixture gives out whitish bubbles with a nice smell, pour this onto the greased plate.
7. After a while, cut into pieces of desired shape.
