Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups of flour
- 1/2 cup ghee (clarified butter)
- 2 tsps cardamom powder
- 3-5 tbsps evaporated milk (to make smooth dough)
- 1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar
- 2 tsp grated ginger
- 3 cup oil (for frying)
- 3/4 cup water

- In a bowl mix together the flour, sugar, ginger, ghee and cardamom powder.
- By using your hands work the butter into the flour until a crumble like texture has been formed.
- Add evaporated milk and mix well until there is a smooth dough(Note: See video for texture)
- Allow the dough to rest for about 5-7 minutes.
- 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)
- Wile the dough is frying give them about 2 minutes on each side and then turn them. Continue with this step until golden/dark brown in colour.
- Place the fried pieces on some paper towel to get rid of the excess oil.
