  • quickly Turn out on to the greased tray,flatten with the spatula and allow it to cool & cut into square or diamond shape pieces.
  • Store it in a airtight container.

Notes

Gond burns very quickly so deep fry it on a medium flame and stirring it all the time to ensure it up every single piece is fried.lift it up out of the ghee till it fluffs up otherwise it will give bitter taste.
when you add all the nuts ,seeds and grated coconut to the syrup ,mix everything well and donot waste time to transfer it in the greased tray otherwise it will not set properly.
