How to make Chena Murki

Firstly, cut paneer into very small pieces.
Then heat ghee in a heavy bottomed vessel and fry the paneer till light golden in color. Take the pieces out of the vessel and put off the flame.
Now make thin sugar syrup by mixing sugar and water in another vessel. Cook until the mixture thickens.
Add cardamom powder, or rose essence, to the sugar syrup and put off the flame.
Immerse paneer pieces in the syrup. Mix well so that all the paneer pieces get properly coated with sugar. Allow it to cool.
Chena Murki is ready.
