Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups of flour
  • 1/2 cup ghee (clarified butter)
  • 2 tsps cardamom powder

  • Heat oil on a medium heat.
  • Break off small or big pieces of the dough and roll in hands to form a shape. Note:(see video for shape and form of hands)
  • Fry the pieces of dough until golden/dark brown. Note: (Make sure to keep the oil medium to low heat as the dough will cook faster outside but not inside)
