Put khoya in fridge for 30 minutes. Keep there

to the syrup and remove scum which comes on top. Or simply strain. Boil syrup
till sticky between finger and thumb. Cool to room temperature. Meanwhile, add
ghee to flour and mix till crumbly. Add enough warm water to make a medium
stiff dough. Divide into 18-20 parts, and roll into balls. Roll each into a
thin chappati. First fold in half and then quarter. Insert a clove a the center
to hold all the folds together. Deep fry in hot ghee on low till very light
brown. Drain and keep aside. Repeat for all dough. Break khoya till corase
crumbs are formed. Mix the cardamom and khoya into the cooled syrup. Chill
syrup. Store triangles in a tight container. One hour before serving, immerse
the triangles in the syrup. Take care not to make the crumbs fine, or it will
become pasty. For serving, place a triangle in the bowl and pour a spoonful of
syrup on top. Serve cold.
