  3. Mix it in a bowl and add remaining nuts to it.
  4. Now add the hot ghee slowly little by little.
  5. Stop adding ghee when you are able to make a ball.(some amount of ghee will be left behind)
  6. Make balls and you are ready.

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.
