  3. Heat a heavy bottomed pan on a low flame. Add sugar, saffron strings and water and heat the sugar solution till the sugar is completely dissolved. Do not make it too sticky. Add cardamom powder and mix well. Switch off the flame once the sugar is dissolved fully. Ensure that it does not reach the one string consistency.

If the mixture is dry, add few drops of milk or water and then form balls. - - Ensure there are no lumps or small bits in the khoya. You can also grate the khoya. - - Ensure there are no cracks in the balls. Otherwise it might break while frying. - - While deep frying, oil should be low hot to ensure even cooking and coloring.
