To check if the mixture is ready, carefully take a very small portion (let it cool for a few seconds) and try to roll it into a ball. If it holds its shape without being too dry or sticky, it's done. Do not overcook, or the narus will become hard.
Turn off the heat and immediately stir in the green cardamom powder. Transfer the mixture to a separate plate or bowl to stop the cooking process and let it cool for 5-7 minutes, until it's just warm enough to handle.
Grease your palms with a little ghee. Take about a tablespoon of the warm mixture and roll it firmly between your palms to form a smooth, round ball about 1-inch in diameter.
Place the shaped narus on a plate and allow them to cool completely at room temperature. They will firm up as they cool. Once cooled, store them in an airtight container.
