Heat the milk in a deep pan. Add salt, sugar, ghee, and all-purpose flour. Stir continuously while adding the flour, then turn off the heat. Let the mixture cool, then knead gently. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside.

Take a portion of the dough and roll it out. Use a cup or bowl to cut it into three pieces. Place the three pieces together. Using your finger, make an indentation in the center. Cut a square piece as well.

In the center indentation, use a knife to make three cuts in a circular shape. Stick each section upward to form rose-like petals. Heat oil in a deep pan and fry the pithas until golden brown.

To make the syrup, boil sugar and water until it becomes slightly sticky. Turn off the heat. Place the fried gulab pithas in the warm syrup for a few minutes, then remove.

Your Gulab Pitha is ready to serve.

Do not change the quantity of any ingredient, or the gulab pitha may not turn out correctly and could break apart in the pan.
