Step 1
Combine refined flour and whole wheat flour with salt and sugar in a large bowl. Add softened ghee and mix well. Add half cup ice cold water and knead into a soft dough. Cover with cling wrap and set aside in a cool place for one hour.
Step 2
Heat three tablespoons ghee in a deep non-stick pan. Add gram flour and sauté, stirring continuously, for about eight minutes or until it is golden brown and fragrant.

Add walnuts, pistachios, raisins, dates, apricots, powdered sugar and honey. Mix well and cook for one to two minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool down to room temperature. Divide the dough into equal portions and shape each portion into a ball.
