Mohan Thal Recipe

Ingredients:

Besan (gram flour) – 1 cup

Ghee – 1/2 cup (plus extra for greasing)

Milk – 2 tbsp

Sugar – 3/4 cup

Water – 1/4 cup

Cardamom powder – 1/2 tsp

Saffron strands – a pinch (optional)

Chopped dry fruits (almonds, pistachios) – 2-3 tbsp

Instructions:

Grease a plate with ghee and keep it ready.

Roast the Besan:

Heat ghee in a thick-bottomed pan.

Add besan and roast on low flame, stirring continuously till it turns golden and gives a nutty aroma. This may take 10–12 minutes.

Add milk and stir well. It will froth and become slightly grainy in texture. Cook for another 2 minutes. Turn off the flame.

Prepare Sugar Syrup:

In a separate pan, mix sugar and water.

Boil until you get a one-string consistency. (Dip your finger and check between thumb and finger; a single thread should form.)

Combine:

Slowly pour the sugar syrup into the roasted besan mixture.

Add cardamom powder and saffron.

Mix quickly and thoroughly. It will thicken.

Set the Mixture:

Immediately pour the mixture into the greased plate.

Level with a spatula and garnish with chopped dry fruits.

Let it cool completely, then cut into squares or diamonds.
