Step-by-Step Instructions

In a bowl, mix coarse gram flour with melted ghee and warm milk; rub well with your palms to create a crumbly texture and rest for 30 minutes.

Sieve the mixture to ensure an even crumb consistency.

Melt remaining ghee in a heavy-duty pan, add the prepared gram flour crumbs, and roast on low-medium heat for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and deeply aromatic.

Boil sugar, water, and saffron together for 5 minutes to form a single-thread sugar syrup.

Stir the hot sugar syrup and cardamom powder into the roasted flour mixture, mix quickly until it thickens, pour into a greased tray, top with sliced nuts, cool, and cut into diamond squares.
