Notes
- After pouring cornflour mixture, keep stirring else it will form lumps easily.Even if it starts to form whisk rigorously will get dissolved at this stage.
- For dry fruits and nuts : I used a mixture of cashew,badam,pista,tutti frutti,dates etc.Make sure to chop it fine else while cutting into squares it will difficult.
- If you do not want to cut into squares , you can just scoop and add to bowl and serve.
- You can reduce ghee a bit but do not reduce more as it might give a taste and texture variation.Also will stick in mouth while eating so do not reduce more ghee.
- Just cook sugar syrup until it dissolves , no need to check for any consistency.
Start adding ghee only after it starts to thicken and turn glossy.
