Direction:

 Heat Oil in the Wok on low-medium. In another container mix water and sugar syrup with rose water 1 teaspoon and heat on medium.

For the dough add Mawa,Wheat flour,cardamom powder, cooking soda ,rose water and 2 teaspoon of ghee together to make a soft dough. Divide dough into small balls and make smooth ball without any crack .

If the dough does not comes out smooth enough then you add a little water to make the soft dough.

Now on the low-medium flame oil which is already heated up add one by one ball into it. Add less balls at a time as it will expand size.You will find that each ball pops up from bottom within 15 seconds and start rolling on it's own.Stir occasionally. Fry until color changes to light brown.

Turn off the Sweet Syrup flame.Add the fried balls into the hot syrup and keep them for 20-30 minutes in the syrup so it will absorb the sweet inside.

IMPORTANT:

1.Don't fry the balls on high heat it's make them cook faster and will not be cooked from inside and also it make it hard.

2.Don't try to add more Soda as soda make balls softer but adding any more make them spread while frying and ball shape will be gone.

3. Always fry the balls on the same flame to maintain the right temperature of your oil so it will cook properly.

4.While frying stir occasionally as it has to be cooked all the sides.

5.Ball Size will increase to double so make small balls.

6. If you're Mawa is too watery then you may require to increase the quantity of wheat flour but remember that result dough should be smooth and soft.
