2.Heat a tbsp of ghee in a pan on low flame, and add semolina to the same pan.Fry until semolina turns golden brown and remove from heat.
3.Bring milk to boil in a sauce pot, stir in fried semolina and sugar.Cook on medium flame until all the milk is absorbed or until semolina separates from the sides of pot.Make sure semolina is cooked and remove from heat.
4.Once cooled, make lemon sized balls out of the cooked semolina and keep aside.
5.Take lemon sized(half of the size of semolina ball) ball out of the prepared plain flour dough.
