1 1/2 cups refined flour (maida)
1 tsp soda bicarbonate
2 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 tsp green cardamom powder
4-5 strands saffron Ghee to deep fry
Mix refined flour and soda bicarbonate. Add two cups of water and make a smooth batter. Make sure that there are no lumps. Leave it overnight to ferment.
Make a syrup with sugar and two and a half cups of water. Add green cardamom powder and saffron.
Take a squeeze bottle and fill it up with the batter.
Heat sufficient ghee in a flat pan. Pour the batter into the hot ghee in a large spiral shape. Turn and fry till both sides are golden. Use up the batter in the same way.
Drain and soak in the syrup for at least 15 minutes. Serve hot
