In a pan, add 400 grams (2 cups) of sugar and 1 cup of water.
Boil the mixture until it reaches a thick string consistency of sugar syrup.
Optionally, add a pinch of saffron food color and mix well to enhance the color of the burfi.
Add the sugar syrup to the roasted besan mixture and mix thoroughly to ensure the besan is well combined.
Stir continuously until the mixture starts to separate from the pan (refer to the video).
Also, add ½ tsp of cardamom powder and ¼ tsp of nutmeg powder. Mix well.
Transfer the mixture into a tray lined with baking paper.
Tap and level it to create an even top, and garnish with almond and pistachio slits.
Let it rest for 6 hours, or you can refrigerate it to set more quickly.
Once the burfi has set completely, unmold and cut it into pieces.
Finally, enjoy Mohanthal for 10-15 days when refrigerated.
