Tips & Secrets
- Using ghee for moyan is the absolute secret to achieving that traditional professional-grade crumbly sweet texture.
- Frying on a low flame is mandatory; high heat will burn the sugar inside and make the snack bitter and soft.
- Cutting the dough into thick pieces provides a more satisfying professional-grade bite compared to thin ones.
- Store only after they are 100% cold to prevent moisture from softening the professional-grade sweet glaze.
