Mawa (Dry Condensed Milk - 1 cup
Ghee – 6 tablespoons
Sugar – 1 cup
Cardamom - 2
Chopped Almonds and dry coconut
Directions: 
Grind the soaked channa dal and cardamom with minimum use of water into a smooth paste.
Heat ghee in a pan and add the grounded channa dal. Keep the flame low and sauté it till you start getting the aroma of the roasted channa dal.
Add the crumbled mawa and sugar and keep stirring to avoid formation of lump. As the sugar will dissolve, everything will combine and fill your kitchen with the nice aroma of roasted chana dal along with cardamom.
Add the chopped Almonds and Dry Coconut and set the mixture on a greased tray.
Once cooled, cut into desired shape and enjoy. You can keep this for a week. Warm it a liitle before having for best taste.
