- 1 1/4 cup gramflour
- 1 1/4 cup plain flour (maida)
- 250 gms. ghee

Sift both flours together.
Heat ghee in a heavy saucepan.
Add flour mixture and roast on low till light golden.
Keep aside to cool a little, stirring occasionally.
Prepare syrup simultaneously.
Make syrup out of sugar, water and milk
Following are the steps shown to make sugar syrup (chashni) in the right way.
Put both in a deep saucepan to boil, stirring occasionally. When the mixture comes to a boil, add 1/2 cup milk. When a thick scum is formed on the surface of syrup, it is
time to strain. Put back to boil, checking the consistency required as above. Check frequently, because once the first thread forms, it
proceeds to thicken to the next stages very quickly.Bring syrup to 2 1/2 thread consistency.
Pour at once into the flour mixture.
Beat well with a large fork till the mixture forms threadlike
flakes. Pour onto a greased surface or thali and roll to 1" thickness
lightly. Sprinkle the charmagaz seeds and elaichi and gently press
down with palm. Cool, cut into 1" squares, wrap individually into square
pieces of thin plastic sheet.Store in airtight container.
