Ghee3 tbsp
Sugarto taste
Wheat Flour3 cups
Jaggery3/4 cup, grated
Green Cardamom4, ground

Instructions

1
Measure everything before lighting the flame; there is no pause button mid-cook.
2
Put the wheat flour and jaggery on a steady medium flame and commit to stirring — sweets test your patience.
3
Keep going until the mass pulls away from the pan and glistens; the colour should deepen a shade.
4
Add the ghee, cardamom and any nuts or saffron; fold through and cook two minutes more.
5
Tip into a greased tray, level the top, sprinkle nuts, and let it set before cutting into diamonds.

Chef's tip

Ghee should be fragrant but never browned past golden.
