Simple gram flour cakes so soft, it melts in your mouth in a matter of seconds.
Prepare a square pan by greasing it with some ghee. Set it aside.
On a low flame, dry roast the gram flour for about five minutes, until the raw smell of the flour goes away. Sift this and set aside.
Heat the ghee. Add a few tablespoons of hot ghee to the flour and mix thoroughly, making sure there are no lumps.
In a large pot/saucepan, mix the sugar with two tablespoons of water. Place this on medium heat and let the mixture come up to a boil. It should basically come to a single-string consistency.
Leave the ghee on low heat. It has to be hot when you add it to the sugar syrup-flour mix.
Add the gram flour and mix until well combined. Remember to always keep stirring.
With a big spoon, add hot ghee to the flour mix and stir well until all the ghee is absorbed. Each time you add the ghee, it will bubble and froth a bit, Repeat this until the flour stops absorbing the ghee and it pulls away from the sides.
Add the baking soda and stir rapidly for half a minute. This is to create the air bubbles.
Pour this mix into the pan and allow it to cool. This should take about 5 minutes.
With a sharp knife, cut the mix into even rectangles.
Gently remove the pieces and enjoy!
