  1. Grease a thali steel dish with ghee for setting the Magaj.

  2. In a heavy pan heat ghee and add the magaj flour and roast until it becomes golden in colour, approximately 5-6 minutes. Add the sugar and take off the heat.

  3. Add the cardamom and mix well. Spoon the mixture into the greased still thali, and garnish with almonds.
