Mohanthaal

Mohanthaal is a delightful Guajarathi sweet and it is little harder than usual Mysorepak.

Gram flour – 100gms

Sugar – 200gms

Water – 160ml

Cardamom powder – 1tsp

Saffron – a little

Ghee – 50 ml

Milk – a tbsp

Method of Preparation:

1. Take a bowl; add gram flour, a tbsp of ghee and milk. Mix it well and make it into a crumble form. Pass the gram flour mixture through siever to bring the soft fine crumble texture.
2. Add sugar and water in a vessel; add little saffron and cardamom powder into it. Bring this mixture into one string consistency sugar syrup.
