Make a thick batter with the maida, semolina, 100g oil and a cup of water. Let it sit for 30-40 minutes.

Heat a kadhai (wok) over medium flame and put in the coconut, sugar and khoya. Mix and let it roast for a while. Keep stirring so that it does not stick to the bottom of the pan. When the sugar caramelizes, add the powdered cardamom. Take off the flame and cool. Shape into small balls. Dip the khoya balls into the batter and deep-fry in oil.

To make the syrup, heat half a cup of water and 150g sugar. Cook till a thick consistency is reached. Dip the pitheysinto the syrup and let them cool. Serve.
