Prepare a sugar syrup by boiling sugar and water until it reaches a one-string consistency.

Add cardamom powder and rose water to the syrup and set aside to cool.

In a bowl, combine paneer, mawa, and all-purpose flour to form a smooth dough.

Add baking powder and a pinch of salt to the dough, mixing thoroughly.

Divide the dough into small balls, ensuring they are smooth and without cracks.

Heat ghee in a deep frying pan over medium heat until hot.

Fry the dough balls until golden brown, turning occasionally for even cooking.

Remove the fried balls and drain on paper towels to absorb excess ghee.

Soak the fried balls in the warm sugar syrup for at least 30 minutes.

Garnish with chopped pistachios and almonds before serving.

Serve warm or at room temperature.
