Heat 1 cup ghee in a pan over low heat until melted.

In a separate pot, combine 1.5 cups sugar and 0.5 cups water; heat until sugar dissolves completely.

Pour the sugar syrup into the roasted gram flour gradually, stirring continuously.

Cook the mixture over low heat until it thickens and starts to leave the sides of the pan.

Add 1 teaspoon cardamom powder and mix well to incorporate.

Fold in 0.5 cup chopped cashews and 0.5 cup pistachios for added texture.

Transfer the mixture to a greased plate and spread evenly.

Allow to cool slightly before cutting into squares or diamonds.

Let it cool completely before serving.
