    Ingredients

    • 1/4 cup ghee
    • 1/2 cup dry fruits and nuts
    • 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder

    Instructions

    • To a bowl add corn flour along with 1 and 1/2 cups water whisk it well without any lumps. Set aside. To a heavy bottomed kadai add sugar along with 1 cup water.

    Notes

    • After pouring cornflour mixture, keep stirring else it will form lumps easily.Even if it starts to form whisk rigorously will get dissolved at this stage.
    • For dry fruits and nuts : I used a mixture of cashew,badam,pista,tutti frutti,dates etc.Make sure to chop it fine else while cutting into squares it will difficult.
    • If you do not want to cut into squares , you can just scoop and add to bowl and serve.
    • You can reduce ghee a bit but do not reduce more as it might give a taste and texture variation.Also will stick in mouth while eating so do not reduce more ghee.
    • Just cook sugar syrup until it dissolves , no need to check for any consistency.
      Start adding ghee only after it starts to thicken and turn glossy.
