- Start adding milk to the fried Besan slowly and mix vigorously so that no lumps formed by the Besan.
- Keep the flame on the lower side.

- Now add Sugar and Cardamom Powder to the mixture and keep cooking on low flame until the mixture thickens a bit (less thickened than Halwa).

Instead of Powdered Sugar, normal Sugar can also be used.
I have not added dry fruits which are optional.
I prefer to use homemade Ghee for this recipe.
