- In a wide, flat base pan, roast the mung beans over medium heat for 15 minutes, or until golden, stirring frequently.

- In a separate pan, cook the ghee for about 30 minutes over low to medium heat.
- Take a tablespoon of the ghee and fry the cashews, tossing them frequently to ensure they are evenly roasted. Roast the nuts till light brown, then remove from heat and leave to cool. Once cooled, grind into a powder.
- Mix mung bean and cashew flour with sugar and suji, then pour in the warm ghee. Using your fingers, shape the mixture into balls. Cool before serving.
