In a mixing grinder, add 4 tablespoons of sugar and 2 cardamom pods and grind them together.

In a non-stick pan, melt 1 tablespoon of ghee.

Once the ghee is melted, add 1/2 cup of milk and warm it slightly.

After warming the milk, add 1 cup of milk powder and mix well to avoid lumps.

Cook on low flame for 2-3 minutes.

After 2 minutes, add the previously prepared sugar and cardamom powder mixture and mix well.

Continue cooking on low flame until it forms a dough-like consistency and doesn't stick to the pan.

Turn off the heat and grease a plate with a little ghee.

Transfer the dough onto the greased plate and spread it out, allowing it to cool slightly.

Once cooled, grease your hands with a little ghee.

Take small portions of the dough and roll them into balls, shaping them into gujiya.
