Notes
Usually two to three tablespoon's of ghee will be remaining after adding the ghee to the mixture,so just concentrate while adding ghee.
I have added correct sugar according to our taste,you add gram and sugar mixture in 1:1 ratio according to your need.
But when adding 1:1 ratio I feel it becomes much sugary.
