Instructions:
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the whole wheat flour, jaggery, cardamom powder, cloves, cinnamon, and baking soda.
- Add Ghee: Pour the melted ghee into the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. The mixture should resemble crumbs.
- Add Water: Gradually add water, mixing until the dough comes together. Be careful not to add too much water.
- Knead: Knead the dough for a few minutes until it becomes smooth and pliable.
- Shape: Divide the dough into small balls, about the size of a golf ball.
