Put the milk, ghee, cardamom, sugar and 2 tbsp water in a saucepan over a low heat, stirring for 2 minutes until the sugar has melted. Remove from the heat and cool for 10 minutes.
To make the dough, rub the flour and ghee together until they resemble breadcrumbs. Pour the milk mixture into the flour and bring it together into a dough. If you need more liquid add another 1 tbsp water. Cover and let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
Heat the oil in a deep frying pan. Meanwhile, divide the dough into 4 portions. Roll each one into a circle, around 0.25cm thick. Cut into 4cm diamond shapes, giving at least 8-9 diamonds per piece, re-rolling the edges as needed to use up all the dough.
Once the oil reaches 160ºC, or until a small piece of dough sizzles after a few seconds, fry the diamonds in 3-4 small batches for 2-3 minutes at a time, until golden. Keep the oil over a medium to low heat, as hot oil burns the pastry quickly. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper. Let the dough cool completely before serving. These can be stored in an airtight container for 5-6 days.
