Notes

• 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.
