-Heat the ghee in a pan and add the powdered mix into it.Add the milk and cardamom powder.
-Keep stirring with a wooden spoon until the sugar is melted and the mixture starts to leave the sides and from the pan.It forms a dough like.(takes 7-9 minutes)
-Remove the mixture on a large piece of parchment paper.Fold the parchment paper or use another parchment paper to cover the top of the mixture.
