• 1 cup milk powder
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 cup ghee or unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup milk
• 2 cup sugar
• 2 cup water
• 1 teaspoon rose water

Method

1. 1

   In a mixing bowl, combine milk powder, all-purpose flour, and baking soda. Mix well.

2. 2

   Add melted ghee or butter to the dry mix and combine until crumbly.

3. 3

   Gradually add milk to form a soft, smooth dough. Let it rest for 10 minutes.

4. 4

   In a saucepan, combine sugar and water. Bring to a boil until the sugar dissolves. Add rose water and simmer for 5 minutes. Set aside.

5. 5

   Heat oil or ghee in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Shape small balls out of the dough and gently drop them into the hot oil.

6. 6

   Fry the balls until they turn golden brown and puff up, about 5-7 minutes. Remove them and allow to drain on paper towels.

7. 7

   Immerse the fried balls in the warm sugar syrup. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes before serving.
