In a skillet, add ghee and when it heats up add clove, cardamom and cinnamon stick. Fry for a second and reduce the flame. Now slowly add above collected liquid. Stir continuously to avoid lumps.
Continue stirring until the liquid thickens and turn into smooth paste. Now slowly by continuously stirring add in milk. Stir in sugar. Bring this to boil and turn off the flame.
