Step 1: To make the gram flour granular, add ¼ cup ghee and ¼ cup milk to the gram flour and mix while crumbling it lightly. Now you have to rub the gram flour until it becomes granular and then filter the gram flour through a sieve with coarse holes. To roast gram flour, place a pan on the gas and add 1 cup of ghee.

When the mixture becomes foamy then the barfi will become granular. Cook the gram flour until the milk dries up and then take out the prepared mixture.
Step 3: Now add sugar and half cup of water in a pan. Make 1 string syrup and add saffron threads to it to bring color. Now add mawa to it and when the mawa gets mixed in the syrup, add roasted gram flour to it. Now cook the entire mixture until it separates from the pan. Now add cardamom powder to it and mix well. When the entire mixture cools down, take it out in a plate.
Fourth Step: Now keep it to set for about 4-5 hours. You can also keep it in the fridge or any cool place. When it gets set, cut it into the shape of barfi. Garnish it with sugar or your favorite dry fruits. Delicious gram flour barfi is ready. Offer it as an offering to God on the day of Dhanteras.
