• Then remove from flame and set aside until it reaches room temperature. 
• Rub your palms with water/ghee and make small lemon sized balls out of it and serve!!

TIP 1: Instead of milk you can add condensed milk also but reduce the amount of sugar. Because condensed milk will have sugar in it. You can also add sweet-less kovas if you wish instead of milk.

TIP 2: If you want to store them refrigerate them and then use them.
