Heat half of the desi ghee in a heavy-bottomed kadhai on medium-low heat.

3
In the remaining ghee, add the whole wheat flour and roast it continuously on low flame until it turns golden brown and releases a nutty aroma.
4
Add the chopped dry fruits and melon seeds to the roasting flour for the last few minutes.
5
Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool down slightly, then mix in the crushed gond, cardamom powder, and powdered jaggery until well combined.
6
Shape the warm mixture tightly into round lemon-sized balls or pinnis with your palms.
7
Allow them to cool completely and store them in an airtight container.
