- Let the mixture cools a bit and then grind to a smooth paste.
- Heat 1/4th cup of vanaspati ghee in a heavy bottomed saucepan. You can also use coconut oil instead of vanaspati. I use vanaspati as it has the flavour close to desi ghee.

- When the mixture becomes hot enough after cooking 6-8 minutes, add in 3/4th cup of sugar.
- Continue to cook for about 30 minutes or until the mixture start leaving from the pan. Keep flame in medium low heat during frying process to get better flavour and texture.
