In a kadai, pour oil. When it becomes hot, add the fenugreek seeds and saute for a couple of minutes. Next, add 3 cups of water, salt, and cook for 15-20 minutes in low to medium flame, until the fenugreek is wellcooked.

Now, add the milk, and when it becomes hot, add the sugar and stir to make it dissolve. Meanwhile, in a vessel or bowl, add the wheat flour and 2 cups of water, and whisk well to make the mix lump free. Add this mix to the kadai, and keep on stirring to avoid lumps.

In a small bowl, dissolve the baking soda in 1/3 cup of water, strain and add it to the kadai. This gives a beautiful color to the dessert as time passes on, and retains the softness as well. Keep on stirring for a few mins.

When the mix leaves the sides of the pan and reaches the perfect consistency, switch off the stove, and pour it to the moulds. That's it!! Serve warm or chilled!!
