Mix the khoya, chopped dry fruits, and a pinch of cardamom powder in a bowl to prepare the stuffing.

Divide the paneer dough into equal small portions, flatten each, place a small amount of khoya stuffing in the center, and seal it into oval shapes.
4
Prepare a sugar syrup by boiling sugar and water together until it reaches a one-string consistency, then stir in the rose water.
5
Heat ghee or oil in a deep kadhai on medium-low heat and gently slide in the prepared shapes.

Fry until they turn golden brown and crisp evenly on all sides, then remove with a slotted spoon.
