Steps

30 minutes

1

Paste for layering the Khaja : Mix ghee, oil & all-purpose flour to a paste. Keep aside.
2

Sugar syrup / chasni : Take sugar in a saucepan. Boil it till sugar melts & the syrup attains 1 thread consistency. Add saffron strands & cardamom powder & mix. Keep the sugar syrup warm.
3

Khaja dough : Take all-purpose flour in a bowl, add ghee & mix till the flour resembles crumbly. Make paratha type dough by adding water slowly.Cover & keep aside for 30 minutes. Then knead the dough very well so Khaja will be very soft.
4

Make 5 equal size balls from the dough. Take 1 ball & roll the 1st chapati slightly bigger than the other 4. Now take 1 chapati on the rolling board, apply paste all over it generously.
5

Make 4 more chapatis slightly smaller than the 1st one.Stack up all 4 chapatis one on top of the other after applying the paste generously, so that the layers will be seen easily when the Khajas are fried.
6

Now make a cylindrical roll from the stacked chapatis. Cut 1 inch pieces from the roll. Take 1 piece on the rolling board & keep it standing on it & roll a little flat & longish as shown in the picture. Roll all Khajas the same way.
7

OR you can roll Khaja round also. Deep fry them in hot oil on medium flame, so it will be fried till inside & will not remain raw.
8

When golden from all sides,drop the Khaja in warm sugar. Keep them in sugar syrup for 10 minutes. Remove them in a serving plate & offer them to Lord Jagannathji & let everyone take the "Prasad".
You can store these Khaja in airtight container for 15 days.
