Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl add besan, ¼ cup warm ghee, ¼ cup milk and mix well. Rub the mixture with the palms till it resembles like bread crumbs, once done cover it and keep aside.
  2. Take a deep pan to prepare the sugar syrup. Add 1 cup water, sugar, saffron and boil till 2-3 thread consistency.
  3. While sugar syrup is being made, take another pan, heat remaining ghee in it and add crumbled besan mixture, stir it well and stir continuously till golden brown on low flame.
  4. Now add khoya/mawa in the cooked besan mixture and mix it well until it dissolves nicely. Add cardamom powder, mix it again, turn off the flame and allow it cooling for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Now check sugar syrup (check 2-3 thread consistency with little drop of sugar syrup using between thumb and finger). If sugar syrup is done then add into the besan mixture and mix well.
  6. Now grease a tray or thali, pour the mixture into the greased thali and spread evenly then sprinkle chopped dry fruits over it, press them lightly and allow cooling for 5-6 hours, you can apply silver warq/varakh over it for decorative look.
  7. Mohanthal is ready, now cut it into the square shapes and serve it.
