• 6 cups confectioners' sugar
• 1 tablespoon ground cardamom
• 1 ¼ pounds ghee (clarified butter)
• 2 pounds chickpea flour (besan)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat the ghee in a skillet over medium-low heat. Stir the chickpea flour into the ghee and cook until golden brown and has a nutty smell. You cannot miss the fragrance of roasted besan. It will perfume the entire house. Turn off the heat and let the besan cool till just warm.

Step 2

Stir the confectioners' sugar and cardamom into the flour mixture. Pinch the mixture together with your fingers. It should hold the shape. If not, sprinkle some milk till the mixture is able to bind together. Form the mixture into lime-sized balls and roll between your palms till smooth and even. Serve.
