Heat the fat to boiling point. Remove and set aside. Add water to sugar and prepared a syurp of three-string consistency. Take about 50gms or 680gms (for 360 pieces) of the fat and roast gram flour in it for about 2-3 minutes (do not allow to brown). Sprinkle a little water on the gram flour to test whether it has been properly roasted in which case it will splutter. Add sugar syrup to the roasted gram flour and stir well on fire. Add gradually the remaining fat stirring continuously and vigorously till the fat starts floating on the top of the mixture. Remove from the fire and pour the mixture on to a try. Allow the tray to cool in a slanting position so that the excess fat is drained off. Sprinkle crushed cardamom and cut into diamond shapes.
