 Ingredients:
    2 cups of white flour (maida)
    1/2 cup of pure ghee
    1& 1/2 cups of sugar
    1& 1/2 cups of refined cooking oil or ghee (for frying)

    Add a pinch of salt and three teaspoon of ghee to the remaining flour, mix thoroughly well and then add water slowly as you continue kneading.

    Now heat oil or ghee in a frying pan and deep fry the pieces of khaja on medium to low flame.
    Prepare the sticky sugar syrup with sugar and water
    After the frying is over, now dip the khajas into sugar syrup (one at a time) and take out.
    Serve after the khaja becomes cold.
