1 teaspoon crushed Green Chilli-Ginger (or paste)

Mix mota besan with 2 to 3 tbsp of ghee and milk uniformly. Let it set for 10 minutes, or until the mixture becomes dry and powdery.
Grind the besan mixture in pulse mode for 10 to 15 seconds in a mixer jar. In a pan, heat the ghee and add the besan powder, sautéing it thoroughly.
Once the raw smell is gone, add milk to the besan ghee mixture. Prepare sugar syrup with saffron strands of one string consistency.
Transfer this sugar syrup to the pan and mix well with the besan mixture. Add cardamom powder to the mixture.
Cook the burfi until the mixture turns light brown in colour, as shown. Transfer the mixture to a mould lined with Ecobake cooking paper and spread uniformly.
Garnish with pista and almonds and leave it for 3 to 4 hours. Once the besan burfi is set, cut into small pieces of the desired shape.
