Method
Grease a rimmed plate with a tea spoon of ghee and set aside.
Dry roast maida in a pan for about 4 - 5 minutes until the raw flavor is gone. Set aside and combine cocoa, maida and salt well. Better if sieved. Add ghee just enough to make it a ball.
Heat water, sugar and lemon juice and bring it to a boil
Bring it to 230 degrees F or until a single thread consistency is formed (little more than single thread is required)
Now add the cocoa ghee mixture, cardamom and nutmeg powder and stir continuously until a smooth creamy paste is achieved.
Transfer to a greased plate and cut after 30 minutes to desired shapes.
