First, heat ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan or kadai. Add wheat flour (atta) and roast it on low flame or until it turns golden brown. Once done, transfer it to a plate and allow it to cool for some time. Now, add sugar and cardamom powder. Mix everything together. (You can sprinkle some milk to combine the mixture) Once it cools down, divide the mixture into equal portions and shape it into various round balls. Decorate them with lots of dry fruits like almonds, raisins and cashew nuts. You can even replace sugar with jaggery to make these pinnis healthier.
