- 110 grams (1 cup) besan (gram flour)
- 4 tablespoons ghee clarified butter
- 100 grams (3/4 cup)desi khand (unrefined cane sugar)
- ½ cup minus 2 tablespoons water
- ½ teaspoon cardamom powder
- Food grade Silver leaf optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Heat a heavy-bottomed pan on low to medium heat and add the ghee to it. Allow the ghee to melt completely.
- Add the besan (gram flour) to the melted ghee and stir continuously to avoid lumps. Roast the besan in ghee until it turns fragrant and changes color. This should take approximately 10-12 minutes. Be patient and stir continuously to prevent burning. The besan should become a light golden brown and have a nutty aroma.
- Take off the pan from the flame and let it cool slightly.
- In a separate pan, combine desi khand and water. Heat it on low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Once the besan is roasted and the sugar syrup is ready, pour the sugar syrup into the roasted besan. Be careful as it may sizzle a bit. Also add cardamom powder along this.
- Mix well to combine the besan and sugar syrup, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue cooking and stirring until the mixture thickens and leaves the sides of the pan.
- Allow the mixture to cool for 5-7 minutes.
- Transfer the mixture on a parchment paper and fold it many times till it becomes non sticky and smooth. This step is very important to make soft,
- Now cover another parchment paper sheet and roll it into thin rectangle. You can keep the thickness of katli according to your choice.
- Decorate it with silver leaf and cut into desired shape.
- Allow the besan katli to cool and set for a few hours at room temperature.
- Once it has hardened, use a sharp knife to cut it into your desired shapes, such as diamonds or squares.
- our soft melt in mouth besan katli is ready to serve.

Notes
- Roast besan until its raw smell is gone. If we roast it for long time colour of the katli becomes dark and not very attractive.
- Sugar syrup made for besan katli need not be a thread consistency.
- Knead the mixture for 4-5 minutes to get soft and melt in mouth texture.
