Steps

1

Pour 1¼ cups water in a small saucepan and bring it to boil over medium flame, it will take around 3-4 minutes. Remove it from the flame and keep aside until you reach step-4 below.
2

Take sooji in a heavy based pan, add ghee and heat it over medium flame.
3

Stir and mix using spatula.
4

Roast it until golden-brown. It will take anywhere between 8 to 10 minutes.
5

Reduce flame to low; slowly add boiled water and mix by stirring constantly (add water only in small incremental quantities because it will splutter as soon as you add it).
6

Stir and cook to avoid any lump formation.
7

Increase flame to medium and cook until all water gets absorbed. Add sugar and cardamom powder.
8

Stir until sugar dissolves and it has a semi-solid consistency. Add and mix almonds and cashew nuts after reserving some of them for garnishing.
