Heat 4 tablespoons of ghee in a pan over medium heat.

Lower the flame and sauté the mixture, stirring continuously to prevent sticking.
In a separate pan, add water and sugar, bringing it to a boil.
Once boiling, lower the flame and cook for 5 minutes, then turn off the heat.
After 10 minutes of sautéing the dal mixture, add the milk and sugar syrup to it.
