Expert Tips

Make sure not to heat the besan and ghee on high as this would burn the besan and form knots.
You'll know the besan is done once it starts to get really aromatic and the colour slightly darkens.
Do not add the sugar when the besan is warm as this would melt the sugar.

Recipe Note

The amount of ghee and sugar can vary depending on the specific situation. If the dough in the end seems too dry and crumbly, you can add more ghee. If the dough seems too wet at the end, you can add a little more sugar to bring it to the right consistency.
