Now heat ghee in a kadai/deep frying pan and fry them till golden. You can alternately shallow fry them, for a healthier version too.
Transfer the fried arbi chips on an oil absorbent paper to immediately to get rid of any excess oil.
Meanwhile prepare the sugar syrup of one string consistency. In a saucepan, pour sugar and water and bring it to boil while continually stirring the mixture.

Once done add the Arbi Chips in the prepared sugar syrup and start stirring them fast. Your stove should be on a medium heat while doing this.
Gradually, you will see sugar getting dried up and coating the Arbi Chips.
Keep stirring on low heat till all the chips are coated well with the sugar syrup.
Now take them out on a tray and let the Arbi Ke meethe chande cool down and serve.
Once cooled you can store the Arbi Ke Meethe Chande in an airtight container up to 4 days.
