Instructions
Take a thick bottom Kadai or a non-stick pan. Grease it with ghee from all sides.
Take 1 liter of full-cream milk. Retain 100 ml of milk for later use, and pour the remaining milk into the pan. Stir the milk well and let it come to a boil.
After the first boil, stir the milk again. Cook on a low to medium flame until the milk reduces to half the quantity.

Take some portion of the mixture in your hand and form it like a ball. The mithai is ready if the mixture is not sticky to your fingers and can make a ball easily. Else cook for some more time.
Transfer the mixture to a greased tray. Spread the mixture evenly with a spatula.
Sprinkle a little cardamom powder (this is optional). Top it with nuts and press them gently with a spatula so they don't come out while cutting.
