Instant Kitchenette Tip

• Add 1/2 tsp of turmeric powder while roasting for better color.
• If it does not cools entirely, it becomes moist when sugar is added so wait for the besan mixture to cool down completely and then add the sugar.
• You can add 1 - 2 tbs of melted ghee if the mixture becomes dry.
• If your mixture is too moist add 2 - 3 tbsp of roasted besan or rawa.
