For the Sugar Syrup: Boil half a cup of water and the powdered sugar in a saucepan then leave over medium heat till the syrup begins to thicken. Add the lemon juice and rose water, saffron, and cardamoms. Set aside to cool.

For the Dumplings: In a bowl, mix the pita bread, flour with the yeast and enough water to get a thick batter.

Cover with a cloth and set aside until the batter rises. Leave it for a maximum of 15 minutes.

Heat oil in a frying pan. Meanwhile, divide the batter and shape into small balls.

Deep fry the balls, a few at a time, in the heated oil.

When the dumplings are golden brown, remove from oil and strain, then immediately dip in the sugar syrup and serve hot.
