Instructions

1
Heat ghee (clarified butter) in a heavy pan. Add the gram flour.
2
Roast on low heat, stirring continuously for about 25 minutes. Stop when it turns golden and smells nutty.
3
Stir and sprinkle in the milk. This creates a rich, slightly grainy texture.
4
Keep roasting for another 5 minutes. The mixture should become evenly golden all over.
5
Dissolve sugar in a little water over heat. Cook until thick enough that a drop stretches into a single thread between your fingers.
6
Take the roasted gram flour off the heat. Stir in the sugar syrup and cardamom powder.
7
Pour the mixture into a greased square tray. Spread it out evenly.
8
Top with silver leaf and chopped pistachios. Let it set for 2 hours before cutting into squares.
