Now take a flat pan and apply light ghee in it. Add a layer of crushed feni in the pan and spread it by pressing it. Pour the cheese-cream mixture over it and add some extra mozzarella cheese if you wish. Then cover it with another layer of feni.
Cover the pan with a lid and cook on low flame so that the bottom layer becomes golden. Then turn it over and cook from the other side also until it becomes golden. Finally, garnish with pistachios and add honey, sugar syrup, Nutella or Biscoff as per your choice and serve.
