• Fry the besan properly for a few minutes ensuring that it doesn’t get burnt but the raw smell goes away.
• Take another pan and boil water with the sugar in it till it has string-like consistency. (Buy Dhampure Speciality Sulphurless Sugar here at an offer price of Rs 115)
• Now add the fried besan to this and keep stirring till it gets thickened.

• When the ghee starts to separate from the sides of the pan, add the cooking soda to this.
