Method
Get ready by grating the coconut and measuring all the ingredients. Use 1 tsp melted ghee to grease a square plate and a spoon.
Heat a heavy kadai on low flame. Add the besan and 1/4 cup melted ghee. Roast for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring continuously, until the raw smell goes and the flour turns lightly golden.
Add another 1/4 cup melted ghee and the grated coconut. Cook on low flame for 4 to 5 minutes until the coconut softens and its raw smell goes.
Pour in the milk and add the sugar. Mix well and cook on medium flame for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring often, until the sugar melts and the mixture becomes thick.
Lower the flame and add the remaining melted ghee and cardamom powder. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring continuously, until the mixture leaves the sides of the kadai and gathers into one soft mass.
Transfer the mixture to the greased plate and spread it evenly with the greased spoon. Cool for 60 minutes until firm, then cut into squares.
