At start this indigo coloured juicy mixture becomes watery and starts boiling and when it becomes thick it's colour changes to reddish violet colour.

4. When this mixture becomes slightly thick and started to separate from the pan, that time add the powdered sugar in it and stir it, so that the mixture will become thick in short time.

5. When the mixture becomes more thick, that time smear the ghee / butter on the steel plate / tray.

6. When the mixture becomes sufficiently thick, switch off the flame, pour the mixture in the tray and spread it evenly.

7. Put Almond scrapes or slices on this mixture and with ghee / butter smeared hand press it slightly.

8. After 25 - 30 minutes when the mixture starts to cool down, mark it with knife for making pieces.

9. Separate and remove the pieces as bars only after the mixture completely cools down.
