Add chopped cashew nuts and almonds to the mawa mixture, and then add raisins and cardamom powder. Add 2 tablespoons of sugar and mix all the ingredients well.

Take the maida dough and shape it into a ball, then roll it out into a round shape. Place the prepared filling in the center and fold the dough to make a circle, pressing it with your thumb to give it the shape of a kachori.

Heat desi ghee in a pan and fry the kachoris until they turn golden brown on both sides. Once done, take them out on a plate. Fry all the mawa kachoris in the same way and keep them aside.

In a separate pan, add sugar and a cup of water and heat it until the sugar dissolves completely in the water. This process will take around 7-8 minutes, and you will get your sugar syrup.
