Ingredients (સામગ્રી):
• 1/2 cup (50 grams) Besan, बेसन
• 1 cup (250 grams) Sugar, चीनी
• 1.5 cup (300 ml) Pure Ghee, घी
• 1/2 tbsp All Purpose Flour, मैदा
• 1/4 tsp Cardamon, इलाइची
• 2 drops Yellow Food Colour, येलो फ़ूड कलर
• 1/2 cup Water, पानी
Step-by-Step Method (બનાવવાની રીત):
1. Prep Work: Grease a tin or deep tray with ghee and set it aside.
2. Sifting & Dry Mix: Sieve the Besan (Gram Flour) and All-Purpose Flour (Maida) together in a bowl to ensure there are no lumps.
3. Sugar Syrup Prep: In a heavy-bottom pan (kadai), combine sugar and 1/2 cup water. Heat on medium flame to prepare a sugar syrup. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely and reaches a 1-string consistency (એક તારની ચાશણી).
4. Heat the Ghee: In a separate pan on low heat, keep the pure ghee warm. Hot ghee is key to creating the porous honeycomb texture (જાળી).
5. Combine Ingredients: Add the sifted besan-maida mix into the hot sugar syrup gradually, whisking continuously on low flame to avoid lumps.
6. Adding Ghee (Crucial Step): Slowly start adding ladlefuls of hot ghee into the besan mixture one by one. Keep stirring continuously. As you pour hot ghee, the mixture will absorb it and form bubbles.
7. Color & Flavoring: Add cardamom powder and 2 drops of yellow food color. Mix thoroughly.
8. Final Cooking Phase: Continue adding hot ghee until the mixture becomes light, frothy, airy, and starts separating from the sides of the pan. You will see bubbles and a honeycomb pattern forming.
9. Set & Cut: Immediately transfer the hot mixture into the greased tin. Do not press hard, or the internal air holes will flatten. Sprinkle optional dry fruits on top. Let it set for 15-20 minutes, then cut into square pieces while warm.
