Grease a thali or 9 inch pan.
Begin with preparing the Salted Caramel
In heavy bottom saucepan bring together sugar and butter.
Select a bigger sauce pan to hold the bubbling and spluttering.
Keep the flame on medium.
The sugar and butter will melt and start bubbling up.
Continue to cook until the mixture turns pale to deep golden brown in colour. Remember to stir occasionally or swirl the saucepan.
It will begin to release burning sugar aroma. Add the condensed milk, mix well and allow it to boil on a very low flame. Keep stirring continuously.
Cook the mixture until it thickens and becomes a little dark.
Turn off the flame. Add salt and vanilla extract .
The colour will deepen as it cools.
To prepare the Sukhdi, take a heavy bottom wide pan.
Place the pan on low flame, add 1/2 cup ghee.
Once the ghee melts, add the flour.
On a very gentle flame, roast the flour in the ghee until it turns light pink in colour.
The flour will become aromatic and light to stir.
Once done turn off the flame, add milk and Salted Caramel Filling. Taste it, if needed add a little more than mentioned here.
Mix really well.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan.
Level and smoothen the surface.
Cut in squares once it has cooled down a little.
