Make the Dough
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, milk powder, and baking soda. Add ghee and mix well. Gradually add warm milk to form a soft dough. Let it rest for 15 minutes.

Shape the Balls
After resting, divide the dough into small balls, about the size of a marble. Ensure they are smooth and free of cracks.

Fry the Balls
Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Fry the dough balls in batches until they are golden brown, turning occasionally for even cooking. Remove and drain on paper towels.
