Magas/Magaj – this is definitely my favourite Indian sweet of all times! It’s a fudge-like Gujarati sweet dish made by mixing together chickpea flour, ghee and sugar. You can also use besan/gram flour for this mithai. We like ours in barfi shapes but you can make them as ladoos too. P.s the melted form of this sweet tastes great too!

Heat the ghee in a pan on a medium heat
Once the ghee is hot, add in the flour and constantly stir with a spatula until it becomes brown in colour.
Stir for 15-20 minutes. The stirring takes the longest so will require arm power. The ghee will ooze out and turn the mixture into liquid like consistency.
Add in the sugar once brown and mix well.
Pour out the mixture into the tray and smooth out using spatula.
Sprinkle the cardamom on top and then garnish with nuts.
Set in the fridge overnight or for a few hours, and cut using a sharp knife into desired shape.
