Put Miggi on plate and check if there is any dirt or peel in them. Pour Ghee in a pan(kadhai) and heat, put Miggi in Ghee and fry on a low flame.

Allow the Chashni to boil for 3-4 minutes. Now check the texture of the Chashni. Put one drop of Chashni in a bowl and after it cools off place it on your finger. Now try to stick the drop between your thumb and index finger. While separating the fingers a thread looking substance should come out of Chashni.
