- 4½ cups All Purpose Flour (Maida)
- 1 cup ghee
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup water for the sugar syrup
- Ghee/oil (canola oil) for deep frying
- Green cardamom for sugar syrup
Take 4 cups of flour and put ½ cup ghee in
it. Mix it well and use water to make a soft
dough.
Take the other half cup ghee and warm it up
in the microwave for few seconds and add rest of
the ½ cup maida in it and make a paste of it.
Keep it aside.
Now make two big chapattis of the flour
dough. Spread the maida and ghee paste on one of
them and put the second chapatti on the first
one, put little bit more of the paste. Start
rolling both chapattis from one end so that one
is layered inside the other.
Now you've a long roll, cut this roll about
one inch each with a knife. Keep all the pieces
aside.
Take one at a time and press it with your
finger a little side ways and the flatten it
with a rolling pin.
Deep fry this pieces in medium heat until
they are golden brown.
Keep the sugar syrup ready by boiling the
sugar and water together. Add cardamom now. Make
sure the sugar syrup is thick in its
consistency.
Put the fried pieces one at a time in syrup
and take it out immediately.
Enjoy them when they are cold.
Important tip: Put the khajas in the sugar
syrup right after you take it out of the hot
oil. That way, it will retain it's crispness.
Make sure the syrup is thick in the consistency
otherwise it will make all the khajas soggy.
