== Preparation ==<br />
Labanga latika consists of filling, dough, and sugar syrup. The dough is rolled out first and then the filling is placed in the center. The dough is then folded to enclose the filling completely and cloves are pressed over it to ensure that the fold doesn't open up while preparing. Then it's cooked in hot ghee until golden brown and crispy. Lastly, it is placed in sugar syrup to cool down and absorb the syrup<ref>[http://www.khanakhazana.com/recipes/view.aspx?id=6636 Lobongo lotika]. Khanakhazana.com (2012-05-05).
