Notes

Switch off the stove when it is in liquid state so that it will come to correct consistency.
The sharpness of the sweet depends on the type of jaggery.
Ghee is added at last because if we add it before it absorbs more ghee.
Cardamon powder and edible camphor is added at last to bring out the maximum flavor.
