1

Prepare a sugar syrup by adding 1/3 cup sugar to a pan and adding water to it, just melting it without making a syrup.

2

In a bowl, add 2 cups of all-purpose flour (250 grams).

3

Add 2 tablespoons of oil and 1/4 teaspoon of cardamom powder to the flour.

4

Heat 3-4 tablespoons of ghee until warm and add it to the mixture.

5

Mix everything well until the dough can be easily folded in your hands, ensuring not to use too much ghee.

6

Use the prepared sugar syrup to knead the dough until it is soft.

7

Let the dough rest for 10 minutes.

8

After resting, knead the dough for another 2-3 minutes to develop elasticity and softness.

9

Divide the dough into small balls, similar to how you would for puris.

10

Roll each ball out thinly, ensuring they are thinner than regular puris.

11

Let the rolled puris dry for 5-7 minutes before frying them.

12

Heat oil in a pan until medium hot, not too hot to avoid burning the puris.

13

Fry the puris on low to medium flame until they turn golden brown, flipping them occasionally for even cooking.

14

Remove the fried puris and place them on a plate, ensuring not to over-fry them.
