- Roast the flour on medium flame until the colour of the wheat flour changes and it’s fragrant.
- Roasting wheat flour takes a little more time.
- When the colour changes, switch off the flame and remove it into a bowl.
- When the flour is slightly warm , add the fried nuts and sugar.

- If the mixture is dry and not holding shape , add a tablespoon of ghee.
- Do not add too much ghee all at once , then the mixture may turn too soft and will not hold shape.

Note : when making ghee or clarified butter , usually for about 1 kg of butter , you get about 1/2 a cup of milk solids.
