1.
Grate the palm sugar finely. Chop the walnut kernel halves. Warm the ghee in a pot. Add the chickpea flour and stir constantly over low heat for 5 minutes so it does not burn. Add the palm sugar and cook, stirring, for about another 15 minutes until the mixture turns brownish and develops a mild nutty aroma.

Add 1 tbsp water, 3 tbsp coconut flakes, the chopped walnut kernels, cardamom and cinnamon powders. Heat over low heat for another 5-7 minutes while stirring until a fairly firm mass forms. Let the chickpea flour dough cool slightly. With wet hands shape walnut-sized balls and roll them in the remaining coconut flakes.
