Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Whole wheat flour
- 100 grams Ghee (clarified butter)
- 200 grams Jaggery
- 250 ml Milk
- 50 grams Almonds, chopped
- 50 grams Cashews, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Cardamom powder
- 50 grams Unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1 tablespoon Poppy seeds
Instructions
Heat a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat and add the ghee (clarified butter). Allow it to melt completely.
Add the whole wheat flour to the pan and roast it in ghee, stirring continuously, until the flour turns golden brown and releases a nutty aroma. This should take approximately 8-10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a separate saucepan, add the jaggery and milk. Stir over a low flame until the jaggery is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Turn off the heat once melted.
Once the flour is roasted, slowly pour the jaggery-milk mixture into the pan, stirring consistently to avoid lumps.
Add the chopped almonds, cashews, cardamom powder, unsweetened coconut flakes, and poppy seeds to the flour mixture.
Cook the mixture over low heat until it thickens and starts to leave the sides of the pan. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Once thickened, transfer the mixture onto a greased tray or plate. Spread it evenly using a spatula.
Allow it to cool slightly, then cut into squares or diamond shapes while still warm.
Let it cool completely to set before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
