Notes
1. Roast the besan on low flame with stirring continuously.
2. Roasting besan to the perfect stage gives the nice colour, taste and texture.
3. Use desi ghee for roasting to give it a good richness and flavour.
4. To make it vegan use coconut oil or sesame oil instead of ghee.
5. Add enough liquid to avoid dryness. Generally we add double the amount of liquid than besan quantity. Means if we are taking ½ katori besan then take 1 katori water for it. For a thin consistency add little more water.
6. Sugar quantity can be adjusted according to your tatse buds.
