Mohanthal is a traditional Gujarati sweet dish made up of besan, ghee, sugar, and nuts.

Ingredients

Method

1. Mix besan and 3 tbsp of ghee. Rub it with both hands so that the besan is fully oiled.
2. Add 3 tbsp of milk and rub again. Cover the flour and rest for 30 minutes.
3. After 30 min, seive the besan through a thick seive. This makes the besan granular and gives it a good texture to Mohanthal.



4. Now pour rest of the ghee in a wok and turn on the heat. Wait till it melts.
5. Add besan and saute it constantly on medium heat.



6. After about 15 minutes, the color of the mixture will start to become darker.
7. Add about half of the remaining milk. The mixture will boil up, keep stirring. After a minute, add rest of the milk and keep stirring.



8. Saute for 5 more minutes and turn off the heat.



9. Take the wok off the stove and keep stirring for 5 more minutes to cool it down.
10. In a sauce pan, add sugar and 1/3 cup of water. Stir it once in a while. Once it starts to boil, add crushed cardamom seeds and saffron strands.
11. Make one wire consistency syrup. As soon as it’s ready, pour it over the besan mixture and mix.
12. Stir for a minute to make sure there are no lumps.
13. Pour the mixture in a greased tray. Top it with chopped nuts and let it set for a few hours.



14. After an hour, cut the pieces and let it cool down further.
15. Mohanthal will set completely in a few hours.
