Follow step-by-step instructions

Heat ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan and roast the gram flour over medium-low heat until it turns golden brown and aromatic (about 10–15 minutes).
In a separate saucepan, dissolve the sugar in water and bring to a boil to form a syrup.
Gradually add the syrup to the roasted flour while stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
Stir in the cardamom powder and chopped nuts, and cook until the mixture thickens and begins to leave the sides of the pan.
Transfer the mixture to a greased plate, flatten, and let it cool. Cut into pieces once set.
