It creates a short-crust pastry texture to the dough which infact helps with the flaky texture of the sweet when frying.Chill the dough for minimum of 30 minutes for easy rolling.Don't over fill the sweet, else it may leach out when frying.If you are using unsweetened khoya, add ¼ cup of sugar in the filling.Making Dough
