Step 3
Switch off the flame and let the mixture cool for 2–3 minutes.
Step 4
Add grated jaggery and cardamom powder. Mix quickly until the jaggery melts completely with the heat of the flour.

Immediately pour the mixture into a greased tray or plate and spread it evenly.
Step 6
Garnish with poppy seeds or chopped nuts and press them gently.
Step 7
Cut into square or diamond shapes while it is still warm.

Do not add jaggery while the flame is on, as it may harden or burn. Roast the flour well for the best flavour and soft texture.
