Instructions
- How to make Khoya Balls –
- In a large mixing bowl, add khoya with maida, sooji and baking powder and gently knead to form a soft dough. Do not knead heavily, just gather the mix together and form a lump, cover it with a muslin cloth and keep aside to rest for 10 mins.
- Heat sufficient oil in a wok for deep frying. Meanwhile prepare the balls.
- Grease your hands lightly with ghee and pinch a small lemon sized ball from the dough mix.
- Make a depression in the center with your index finger and drop little gulkand, small pinch of cardamom powder and few chopped nuts in the center.
- Fold the dough mix from the sides towards inside and seal the ball.
- Now gently roll the ball between both you palm and keep aside in a tray.
- Similarly make many more balls from the dough mix and line them on a tray.
- How to Fry Khoya Balls –
- As soon as the oil is medium hot, lower the flames to medium heat and drop in the gulkand stuffed khoya balls in equal batches.
- Simmer the gas and allow the let the balls fry from all sides till they turn almost black in color.

- How to make Sugar Syrup –
- While the khoya balls are frying let us make the sugar syrup. For that take a pan and add water and sugar and allow it to boil.
- Now add saffron, rose water and cardamom powder and let the sugar cook with water till it acquires one string consistency.
- Turn off the gas and drop the fried balls in the syrup and let them rest for sometime so that the syrup gets inside the balls nicely.
