Notes

The sweetness can be adjusted according to your taste.
You can add half and half oil ghee combo it will give a nice texture.
Adding sukku powder gives nice flavour.
You can sieve the besan once to be sure that it has no lumps.
I have given a simple easy way without following any string consistency but once the ghee oozes and leaves the sides you have to take it out it will be perfect.
