Steps

1

In a deep, heavy based sauce pan, melt the ghee add the sooji and stir fry over medium/low heat, depending on how often you stir it.
2

At the same time in another pan dissolve the sugar in the water over low heat and keep on simmer, till required.
Add cardamom powder and food colour
3

When the sooji is light brown and gets a glossy look and does not stick together much (which means it is fried enough) add the sugar solution and the cardamom and bring to a boil, then simmer till the liquid is absorbed. At this stage you can stir off and on, not continuous.
4

Serve hot, garnished with the almonds,cashew nuts,dessicated coconut
