Welcome to the channel and introduction to the recipe.

Gather ingredients: cooking oil, eggs, melted Blue Band, fresh milk, sugar, ground cardamom, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.

Measure 2-4 cups of all-purpose flour or self-rising flour.

Mix dry ingredients: 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cardamom, 1.5 teaspoons cinnamon powder, and 3 tablespoons sugar in a bowl.

Thoroughly mix the dry ingredients until they turn brown, ensuring no white spots remain.

Whip the eggs in a separate bowl.

Add the whipped eggs to the dry mixture and mix until it starts to stick together.

Add melted Blue Band to the mixture and continue mixing.

If the dough is too soft, add more flour; if too hard, add milk until the desired consistency is reached.

Knead the dough until it's not too soft or hard, resembling a dough for ugali.

Add a little cooking oil to prevent sticking while rolling out the dough.

Divide the dough into smaller balls for easier rolling.

Roll out each ball gently, ensuring it’s not too thin or thick.

Cut the rolled dough into desired shapes (squares, circles, etc.).

Preheat the cooking oil for deep frying.
