Ingredients:
besan(gram flour)-1 cup,
sugar-2 cups and
ghee-2 1/2 cups.
Method:
In a heavy bottom pan, mix sugar and a cup of water and heat it, to make syrup(just dissolve sugar).
When the syrup is ready, add besan.
Keep  stirring continuously.
When the content starts sticking to the vessel, add the ghee and again go on stirring till the contents becomes dry and takes a soft texture(at this stage the laddle will go through the cooked contents smoothly) and it exudes a unique pleasant aroma indicating that it is cooked properly.
It takes a brittle  texture (on cooling), when rightly done. Even a bit of overcooking/undercooking gives an entirely different texture to the sweet.
Remove from the flame and spread the stuff in a plate and level it.
Cut it, when it is hot.

Remove the pieces, only after it gets cooled.
Store in an airtight container.
