14.Add Ghee/ oil and heat it.

15.When the oil is heated, slowly add khoya balls in to the oil.

16.Reduce heat to minimum and heat till the balls turn golden.

17.Now take out the balls and put them in sugar syrup.

Tip:

1.Make sure oil/ghee is hot when you put the balls in to the oil or they would stick to the pan.
