Curdle boiling milk with lemon juice, strain whey through cheesecloth, and rinse to prepare fresh chenna.

Boil sugar, water, and cardamom powder together to make light syrup; keep warm.

Deep-fry chenna discs in ghee over medium-low heat until deep golden brown.

Submerge fried discs immediately into warm sugar syrup for 1 hour before serving.
