Mix the sugar and water together. Bring it to boil. Make into a syrup of two string consistency.

Melt the remaining ghee in a pan , add this besan mixture and mix well.

Keep stirring till the raw smell leaves . By this time , the besan will turn into slightly brown color.

Note :

I didn’t add the poppy seeds as I won’t like its raw flavor.

Any nuts can be added to this fudge.
