1

Start by measuring 2.5 cups of all-purpose flour into a bowl.

2

Sift the flour to ensure it's light and airy.

3

Add 1/2 cup of powdered sugar and sift again.

4

Add 1-2 pinches of salt to enhance the flavor.

5

Crush 1 green cardamom and add it to the mixture.

6

Incorporate 5 teaspoons of ghee into the flour mixture, mixing well until it resembles a crumbly texture.

7

Gradually add water, kneading to form a stiff dough; approximately 1/2 cup of water used out of 1 cup measured.

8

Cover the dough and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.

9

After resting, knead the dough again to ensure it's well mixed.

10

Divide the dough into small portions and roll each into a cylinder shape.

11

Dust with dry flour to prevent sticking while rolling it out thinly.

12

Use a bowl to cut out circular shapes from the rolled dough, removing the edges.

13

Fry the prepared shapes in medium hot oil until they turn a pinkish color, ensuring not to overheat the oil.

14

Fry on low to medium flame until they are crispy and golden brown, checking the color periodically.

15

Once fried, remove from oil and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
