The traditional Rajasthani treat, Mohanthal, is a melt-in-mouth treat that is particularly made on festivals and special events. To make the regional classic at home, gather the ingredients and follow this guide.
2 cups besan 1/2 cup ghee 1 cup sugar 1/2 cup water 1 tablespoon cardamom powder A few strands of saffron Chopped dry fruits for garnishing
Heat some ghee on a medium flame and roast besan till it turns slightly brown.
Make sugar syrup by boiling sugar mixed with water. Mix the roasted besan and sugar syrup.
Once mixed, add cardamom powder and saffron and stir well.
After the mixture thickens, transfer it to a greased tray or plate and spread evenly.
Garnish with dry fruits like almonds or cashes, cut them into squares, and serve.
