Method

 1.⁠ ⁠Heat sauce pot over medium heat.

 3.⁠ ⁠Add evaporated milk, condensed milk, essence, cinnamon, ginger, raisins & cardamon.

 4.⁠ ⁠Whisk until everything is fully incorporated.

 6.⁠ ⁠Set aside.

 7.⁠ ⁠Heat another sauce pot over medium heat.

 8.⁠ ⁠Add ghee.

 9.⁠ ⁠Once melted, whisk in flour.

10.⁠ ⁠Continue whisking to remove any lumps and to cook the flour.

12.⁠ ⁠Add your liquid mixture to flour and ghee and continue mixing with a spoon or heat resistant spatula until mixture thickens.
