LET’S COOK:

Grease small square pan/container with ghee and keep it aside.

Heat ghee in a heavy bottom non-stick pan on medium low flame. Once ghee melts, add whole-wheat flour and roast flour on medium low heat with continuous stirring until golden brown in color and fragrant. It will take about 12 minutes. (Time may vary).

Switch off the heat. (At this stage of cooking mixture will be very runny but do not worry, as soon as you add jaggery it will thicken up and become one big mass)

Remove pan from hot stove and add grated jaggery and mix well until jaggery melts and mixture turns smooth.

Transfer and spread sukhdi in a greased pan/container.

Use back of the small bowl or spoon to smooth out top surface.

Add tsp. ghee to smooth out top surface of the sukhdi if needed.

Cut into desire shape.

You can serve hot sukhdi if you prefer, as it has unique taste while served hot.

OR

Let it set and cool completely. Ghee will get absorb and sukhdi will harden.

Store in an airtight container.

It should stay good for 1 week.

Enjoy…
