Add milk gradually to form a soft dough; let it rest for 15 minutes.

Divide the dough into small balls, ensuring they are smooth and crack-free.

Heat ghee in a deep pan over medium heat until hot; test with a small piece of dough.

Fry the balls in batches, stirring gently until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
