The idea

1

Wide, heavy pan ๐Ÿณ

More surface area = faster reduction. Kadhai works.

2

Simmer, stir often ๐ŸŒ€

Medium-low. Scrape the sides โ€” that browning is flavour.

3

Last 20 min: constant stir ๐Ÿฅ„

Now it can scorch. Do not walk away.

4

Dough consistency = done ๐ŸŽฏ

Pulls away from the pan into a soft, pale-brown ball.

Full write-up coming after I make it.
