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
Directions
Step 1
Heat a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat and add the ghee (clarified butter). Allow it to melt completely.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Once the flour is roasted, slowly pour the jaggery-milk mixture into the pan, stirring consistently to avoid lumps.
Step 5
Add the chopped almonds, cashews, cardamom powder, unsweetened coconut flakes, and poppy seeds to the flour mixture.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Once thickened, transfer the mixture onto a greased tray or plate. Spread it evenly using a spatula.
Step 8
Allow it to cool slightly, then cut into squares or diamond shapes while still warm.
Step 9
Let it cool completely to set before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
