Recipe

Ingredients

1 cup	all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons	ghee
1/4 teaspoon	salt
1/2 cup	water
1 cup	khoya (mawa)
1/2 cup	powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon	cardamom powder
1/4 cup	chopped nuts (almonds, cashews)
1 cup	sugar

Instructions

1. 1 In a bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, ghee, and salt. Gradually add water to form a smooth dough. Cover and let it rest for 20 minutes.
2. 2 In a pan, crumble the khoya and cook on low heat until it softens. Add powdered sugar, cardamom powder, and chopped nuts. Mix well and set aside to cool.
3. 3 Divide the dough into small balls. Roll each ball into a thin circle.
4. 4 Place a spoonful of the khoya mixture in the center of each circle. Fold the edges over the filling to form a square or triangle shape.
5. 5 Secure each fold with a clove to ensure it stays closed during frying.
6. 6 Heat oil in a pan. Deep fry the prepared laung lata until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
7. 7 In another pan, prepare sugar syrup by boiling sugar, water, and saffron strands until it reaches a one-string consistency.
8. 8 Dip the fried laung lata in the warm sugar syrup, ensuring they are well coated.
9. 9 Allow them to soak for a few minutes before serving.
