In a heavy bottomed pan(preferably a non-stick pan)dissolve the sugar in 3/4 cup of water.In a low flame keep on stirring the sugar solution.
After it starts to boil,don't stir occasionally.Test the consistency of the syrup.It should form a string about 1cm long ,when the syrup is poured from a ladle.
At this time add half of the ghee and the almond paste.
