Meanwhile sieve milk powder, maida and baking soda in a deep bowl.
Add ghee and mix with rubbing your hands. Whe it should looks like bread crumbs, stop rubbing it. Pour warm milk and make a very soft dough. (Use more milk if needed)
Divide the dough into 20 equal portions and shape like a ball each portion. Keep aside.
Meanwhile check the sugar syrup, if done switch off the flame and keep it aside.
Now to give a shape like a modak, pick one ball, shape like a slight cone. Now take a toothpick and make marks to give modak plates.
Do the same with all balls and keep aside. And meanwhile heat sufficient ghee in a kadai or pan.
Deep fry all modaks carefully, in batches of 3-4 madaks at a time till brown in color at low to medium heat.
When done remove from ghee and directly dip in to sugar syrup.
Do the same with all modaks. Let them rest for 3-4 hours in sugar syrup. You wise notice the raise in size of modak after 3-4 hours.
