Notes
Do not lose patience while roasting, that is the main step involved so keep roasting for until the color changes.
Simmer flame while adding sugar syrup as it might splutter.
You can even use a whisk to mix after sugar syrup is added to avoid lumps.
Do not reduce ghee else the halwa will become sticky and will not yield the perfect taste and texture.
You can even fry cashews in ghee and add it.
