1 cup Besan
1 cup Shortening agent
1 c Sugar
4 seeds Cardamom
Nuts (optional)

Melt shortening in a pan. Turn down heat and add cardamom and Besan. Fry, stirring constantly to prevent burning until it has changed to a brown color and smells done. (Test: a few drops of water sprinkled on it sputters instantly).. Turn off the heat and stir in the sugar. Spread 1/ 2" thick onto a platter. Cut into diamond shapes after it has cooled down.
