In a separate heavy-bottomed pan, melt ghee or butter over medium heat. Add semolina flour and toast, stirring constantly, until it turns a deep golden brown and becomes fragrant, about 10-15 minutes. Be careful not to burn it.

Add slivered almonds to the semolina and toast for another 2-3 minutes until lightly golden.

Slowly and carefully pour the hot sugar syrup into the toasted semolina mixture while stirring continuously to avoid lumps. The mixture will bubble vigorously.
