Step 1
Heat a heavy pan over medium heat and add 1 cup semolina. Dry roast, stirring constantly, until it smells nutty and turns light golden, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 2
Add 1/2 cup ghee to the roasted semolina. Stir and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the semolina is well coated and slightly darker.
Step 3
In a separate saucepan, combine 3/4 cup sugar and 3/4 cup water. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves, then simmer for 2-3 minutes to make a light syrup.
Step 4
Carefully pour the hot sugar syrup into the semolina mixture. Stir continuously over low heat until the mixture thickens and pulls away from the sides, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 5
Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder and 2 tablespoons of the chopped pistachios. Mix well.
Step 6
Pour the mixture into a greased 8x8 inch pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons pistachios on top, pressing gently.
Step 7
Let cool completely for about 30 minutes, then cut into squares and serve.
