Paste 300 grams of seedless dates with 150 grams of water to make a mixture.

In a bowl, combine 250 grams of wheat flour with the date paste.

Add 1 spoon of sugar, a little cardamom powder, a little saffron, and 2 spoons of oil to the mixture.

Add water to make a soft dough.

Divide the dough into two pieces and shape them into bread, ensuring they are not too thin.

Use a fork to poke holes in the bread to prevent it from puffing up while frying.

Heat oil in a pan for deep frying, ensuring it is at a normal heat.

Fry the bread on a slow flame, rotating it to cook evenly on all sides until it turns red.

Remove the bread from the oil and cut it into small pieces.

In a jar, add the fried bread pieces and half a spoon of cardamom powder.

Add 3 spoons of Arabic ghee on top of the bread pieces.

Mix gently to create a coarse texture, not too fine.

Serve the gers with gahwa, sulaimani tea, or karak tea.
