Method

  • In a wide kadhai or heavy-bottom pan, add 1/2 cup ghee and whole-wheat atta.
  • Keeping the flame low, keep stirring it for 8–10 mins until it develops a nutty aroma and acquires a pinkish brown colour.
  • Don't stop stirring or the atta might burn.
  • Remove from the flame and place it in a large bowl or plate.
