Besan-1 cup
Ghee-2 & 1/4 cups

Sugar-2 cups

Water-1 cup

Method

Fry the carrots & besan each separately with 1tsp of ghee till raw smell goes off.Put it in a bowl,add the remaining ghee to it .Stir it well without any lumps.Boil sugar & water till bubbles appear.Keep it in low heat & add the carrot,besan & ghee mixture.In medium heat keep mixing it(may be for 5 minutes).You will notice that the mixture is leaving the sides of the pan & all the bubbles have come closer(looks like a semi thick paste consistency).This is the stage to remove from heat & pour it on a greased pan.While warm cut into desired shapes.

Tips

Try to use a non stick pan because its less mess & easy to know the stage for removing the mixture.This is a sweet which really requires patience & more concentration.Otherwise your sweet will form into rocks or crumble down in a minute you miss the stage....This also requires some practice,so new comers pl. try with small quantity 1st.
