2 tablespoon ghee
water for kneading dough
½ teaspoon oil

For the Sugar Syrup

¾ cup sugar
1/3 cup water
½ teaspoon elaichi/cardamom powder

To Be Mixed Together

2 tablespoon ghee
1 tablespoon rice flour
½ tablespoon maida

Method

For The Dough

- In a wide bowl, mix maida, ghee and knead into a stiff dough adding water gradually.

- Add ½ teaspoon oil and knead the dough again.

- Dough should not be soft and smooth. It should be same as that of a puri. Cover and set aside for 15-20 minutes.

For the Sugar Syrup

- To prepare sugar syrup, add sugar and water in a pan and allow to boil. Once the syrup starts boiling, reduce the flame to low and check the consistency of sugar syrup.

- You should have a one string consistency sugar syrup.

- Switch off the flame and add cardamom powder. Set aside.

To be Mixed Together

- In a small bowl, mix ghee, rice flour and maida. Stir and keep aside.

Preparing Puris

- Divide the dough in 6 equal parts and make balls out of it.

- Roll out each ball into a big round (big sized roti).

- Now take 1 roti and apply ghee-flour mixture and spread evenly on it. Place another roti on it and apply ghee-flour mixture over it. Now, place the third roti and apply the ghee-flour mixture.

- Then roll them up. With the help of a knife, cut small pieces of the roll. These would now look like mini swiss rolls.

- Repeat the same process for the remaining 3 rotis.

- Take a small piece that we had cut from that roll on a rolling pin. Press it lightly with your palm and roll into a small disc shape (puri shape). Roll it gently.

- In the same manner, prepare all the other puris.

- Heat oil for frying puris.

- Fry the prepared puris till light golden and crisp.

- Immediately soak these puris in the prepared warm sugar syrup. When you dip the puris, syrup should neither be too hot nor at room temperature. It should be warm.

- Soak for 1-2 minutes.

- Take out on a plate and sprinkle chopped nuts over them.

- Once cooled, store them in an air-tight container.
