When to add sugar? u ddin mention that mam?

No need for sugar as we are using sweetened condensed milk.

I don't have condensed milk. May I use sugar?

Hi,
I try many of your recipes and they usually come out very well. But Mohantal did not – it was not at all sweet.
Also when I added the Ghee to the gram flour in 1:3 ratio, it was not like the crumble powder shown in step 3, but more like step 4. Can you confirm if the measurements are correct or guess what I could have done wrong?

Hi, Have you used sweetened condensed milk? You get unsweetened condensed milk also in shops. I have used sweetened condensed milk so I have not added any sugar. Also the ratio is perfect. For 3 measures of gram flour, we need to add 1 measure of ghee. So obviously the ghee is 1 part of the gram flour, so the gram flour will become crumble and then after adding condensed milk only it will become as a whole mass of mixture. Have you first crumble the gram flour with little milk?
