The clip shows cooks adding gram flour and ghee into a churning machine. As the machine continues to mix, they gradually incorporate more ghee. Sugar is then added to the batter, followed by additional ghee. Once the mixture thickens to a bouncy and shiny texture, it is transferred onto food trays and flattened using a rolling pin. After allowing it to set, the cook cuts the sweet into smaller pieces to be packed and sold.
Since being shared, the video has grabbed the internet’s attention. People flooded the comments section with their reactions.
