Put ½ cup of melon seeds in the same pan and fry them on medium flame while stirring continuously till they swell and change color. After roasting, take them out on a plate as well.
Process of roasting Gram Flour
Put about 1 cup of ghee in a heavy bottomed pan and heat it. Put 2.5 cups of gram flour in hot ghee and fry it on low-medium flame while stirring continuously. Fry it till it becomes thin and changes color. When the gram flour is almost about to be roasted, add 1 cup of almond flakes and fry it for 2 minutes.
When the time is up, add ½ cup of finely chopped cashews and fry for 2 minutes. After the time is up, turn off the flame and keep stirring it in the pan for 2-3 minutes. Keep it and let it cool down a bit.
Process of making Mixture for Pinni
Put the roasted gond in a tray and crush it. Then put some makhanas in the pot and crush them and keep them with the gond. When the gram flour cools down slightly, add crushed gond, makhana, melon seeds, ⅓ cup of chopped raisins and 12 small cardamoms, peeled and coarsely crushed. Now mix them well.
When mixed, the mixture will be ready. Now divide it into two parts and take out one part in a bowl. And keep one part covered in a pan.
