Ensure there are no lumps.  Mix and keep stirring continuously to avoid sticking of the mixture to the bottom of the pan. Add cardamom powder and mix well again.  Once the moisture is fully absorbed by the mixture and becomes dry ball of dough, switch off the flame. Allow the mixture to cool down a bit.  Apply some ghee in your hand and knead the dough when it is still little warm.
