while mixing gently to avoid any lumps.Add ghee,cardamom
powder and mix well.switch off the flame. Do not remove
the lid for 15 mts.Later remove the lid and allow it to cool off.
By the time sooji mixtures cools off it looks like wet greasy paste.
Grease your hands with oil/ghee, take a spoonful of mixture,
shape them into rounds and pat them flat (about 1/4 inch) like tikkis.
Arrange all of them on a greased plate. Alternatively you can directly
drop them in oil while you shape them.Heat oil in a wide bottomed pan
