  • Ghee
  • Milk
  • Cardamom powder
  • Almonds
  • Pistachios
  • Sugar

Instructions

  • Grease a square pan with a minimum of 2 inch rim with ghee and set aside. Add 1-1/2 cups of ghee to the gram flour in a large bowl and combine well with fingers to make a mixture that feels like coarse crumbs. Stir in the milk to the above coarse crumbs mixture and rub between the palms to combine well. In another sauce pan; heat the 2 cups of sugar and 1-1/2 cups of water simmering it about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and keep it warm. Heat the remaining ghee in a large sauce pan and add the above flour mixture, stirring continuously until golden brown and releases a roasted aroma about 7 to 10 minutes. Stir in the nuts and cardamom until combined. Gradually add the sugar syrup and keep stirring till the mixture thickens and leaves the sides of the pan. Turn off heat and transfer the Mohanthal mixture into the greased rectangular pan, leveling such that the Mohanthal is about two inches in height. Run a knife to cut the Mohanthal into squares and allow it to cool on the tray for more than a couple of hours to set. Once cooled completely, separate the precut squares and serve.
