2.5 cup Ghee
0.25 cup Milk
1 tablespoon Cardamom powder
10 No.s Badam, finely chopped
10 No.s Pistachios, finely chopped

1 cup Water

Directions : Mohanthal/Traditional Gujarati Sweet Recipe

step 1

STEP 1.In a large mixing bowl add 4 cups of besan, 1 ½ cup ghee, 1 tbsp cardamom powder. Using hands mix all the ingredients together till well combined and the mixture reaches coarse crumb texture.

step 2

STEP 1.Once the flour has absorbed all the ghee, add ¼ cup milk . Continue to mix with fingers till the gram flour absorbs all the milk and the texture is wet but still has a big crumb-like.

step 3

STEP 1.The mixture should not be kneaded to form a dough, it should be mixed with fingers. Once all the milk is absorbed , rest the mixture for 15 to 30 minutes.

step 4

STEP 1.To make the sugar syrup, in the saucepan add 2 cups of sugar and 1 cup of water. On low heat stir and dissolve all the sugar. Bring it to a boil and monitor to avoid caramelising the sugar, let it boil till it reaches a one thread consistency. This will take up to 10 minutes. When one thread consistency has been reached the sugar syrup will be extremely sticky to touch.

step 5

STEP 1.In a heavy bottom pan add the remaining ½ cup of ghee and allow it to melt completely.

step 6

STEP 1.To this add the gram flour mixture that has been resting. Roast the gram flour mixture in the ghee, continuously string to avoid the gram flour burning. Mash any lumps that may form.

step 7

STEP 1.After approximately 10 minutes of stirring on medium heat, the gram flour mixture will have absorbed all the ghee and will have a crumble texture.

step 8

STEP 1.At this stage add 10 finely chopped almonds and 10 finely chopped cashew nuts. Store to combine well.

step 9

STEP 1.Next pour in the sugar syrup. Stir continuously till the mixture thickens and is slightly dry. The gram flour will absorb all the sugar syrup and thicken. When scooped in the ladle it sticks to the ladle and will not fall back or pour into the pan.

step 10

STEP 1.The mohanthal is ready to be set. Take a large square glass bowl and empty the mohanthal from the saucepan into the dish. Spread it out evenly and tap it down so that it is compact.
