Notes

Please make sure there are no gaps while making shapes because there are chances that it may break up while frying.
Always fry dough in low medium if you fry at higher flame then the inside will not be cooked and outsides will be golden.
Need not keep the fried dough longer in sugar syrup ten minutes will do the job.
The dough should be like puri dough not like chapatti dough.
I have not added cardamom powder to khoa instead added it to the syrup.
Have used home made khoa you can use store-bought.
