• In a bowl, add chickpea flour and 4 tablespoon of ghee. Nicely rub this between your palms so that the besan is well incorporated with ghee. Do not rush with this process. I have spent around 5 minutes. Check the video on making of gujarati danedar mohanthal.
  2 cups Besan or Chickpea flour, ½ cup + 4 tablespoon Ghee
• To this, add 4 tablespoon of milk and continue to rub for another 5 minutes. By following this step, you will end up getting a grainy or sandy (danedar) chickpea flour. 
  ½ cup + 4 tablespoon Milk
• Add ½ cup of ghee in a pan on medium flame. To this, add the above chickpea mixture and saute until besan becomes golden and aromatic. 
  ½ cup + 4 tablespoon Ghee
• For the chickpea flour to become deep golden and aromatic, it took around 15 minutes on low flame. The time may vary between 12 to 18 minutes, depending on the intensity of the flame and the pan used.
• Add half cup milk and keep mixing until well incorporated. It takes about four to 5 minutes. Switch off the flame. Be careful not to burn the mixture.
  ½ cup + 4 tablespoon Milk

Making of sugar syrup

• In another pan, add sugar and water (add saffron strands if available) and cook until the sugar syrup attains one-string consistency. To this, add cardamom powder and switch off the flame. You can check the video here on how to make one-string consistency.
  1 cup Sugar, ¾ cup Water, 8 to 10 Saffron strands (optional), 1 teaspoon Cardamom powder, adjust to taste

Making of Mohan thal

• Put back the pan containing roasted chickpea flour on medium flame. To this, add sugar syrup and continuously stir for 2 minutes until everything is combined and starts bubbling around the edges.
• Transfer this to a pan greased with ghee or lined with parchment paper and spread to the desired thickness.
• Garnish it with pistachios and press gently. Decorate with vark (edible gold or silver leaves) if desired.
  Pistachios, Vark (or edible silver, optional)
• Let this set for at least 3 to 4 hours. Cut them into slices of the desired size or simply scoop with a spoon and enjoy.
