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.
