Add prepared dough balls and fry them over low to medium heat for 6 to 7 minutes or until light golden brown. Note: When oil is medium hot add a small ball of dough in hot oil and if it comes upward immediately without changing its color, oil is ready, if it turns brown immediately, ghee is too hot. And if it doesn’t come upward, oil is cold. Take out and transfer them over kitchen napkin and let cool for 5 minutes. In a pan add sugar, water, cardamom and bring it to boil on high flame.
