Ingredients

• 1/2 cup melon seeds
  
  1 tbsp ghee (clarified butter)
  
  1/4 cup khoya
  
  1/2 cup sugar
  
  1/2 cup water
  
  A greased plate to set the barfee in

Method

Roast the seeds on a griddle till they start to splutter and take out on just a suggestion of colour.

Remove from the pan and set aside to cool. Place a heavy-based pan on the stove.

Put in the ghee and the khoya and sauté till it appears to be of uniform consistency and looks slightly fried.

Turn off the heat; add the roasted melon seeds and leave to cool.

In another pan, warm the sugar and water together over low heat, stirring a few times till the sugar dissolves.

Make sure to not let it boil before the sugar dissolves.

Once the sugar dissolves, let the syrup boil over high heat till it thickens.

Mix immediately with the cooled khoya mixture, stirring vigorously to blend well.

As you mix it in, it will begin to set. So, it is essential to blend it in as fast as you can.

Transfer onto the greased plate, pat to level, and leave to cool and set.

Cut into pieces of desired size using a sharp knife. Arrange in a serving dish and serve.

Can be stored in an airtight container for 8-10 days or more.

Key Ingredients: Melon Seeds, Clarified Butter, Khoya, Sugar

  Don’t worry if your percentage in university exams is low as GATE admissions do not consider them. Just maintain minimum percentage required by many colleges including IIT’s. Look at GATE Cutoff and eligibility section to know eligibility and cut off of various colleges.
  Group study is one of the best ways of preparation. Divide sections/topics between you and your partner and have a brief session on topic from your friend before you actually start topic. This will save your time and efforts and will improve your and your partner’s understanding on the topic.
  Normally coaching GATE is not required but if you are not able to concentrate much then this is a good option.

Pronouns

Pronouns are words that replace nouns. He, she, I, myself, yourself, these, who and what are all examples of pronouns.
A pronoun saves us from repeating a noun. Compare:

• Anthony lives in London. Anthony works in a shop near Anthony’s brother’s house. 
• Anthony lives in London. He works in a shop near his brother’s house.
  [He and his are pronouns. They replace Anthony and Anthony's brother's.]

Verb forms can be confusing in English. For instance, when do we use the infinitive form go and when should we use the -ing form going?
These are the different structures that we use when there are two verbs together in a sentence:

• Verb + bare infinitive - I can go there.
• Verb + -ing - I love going there.
• Verb + to + infinitive - I want to go there.
• Verb + object + to + infinitive - He wants me to go there.
