In 2 bowl sieve the flour separately and make a well in the middle and add oil. Add red colour to one and Orange to another. Make a firm dough using warm water.
Leave it aside for 15 minutes.

Make small equal balls of the size of 20 pence from both the dough.
Roll out or make a cone with your finger tips with the red balls and insert the orange and cover it completely. Repeat for the rest of the dough. Using a carving knife cut the dough balls as per the photo. Each segment will be 1/8th.

Heat oil and deep fry the dough balls on low heat. All the segments will open and become like petals of a flower.
Once fried let it cool.

In a pan add sugar and water and let it boil until all sugar is dissolved. Add orange extract to the syrup and let it cook until it starts to become sticky.
Let it cool for 5 minutes. Add the dough flowers and let it sit in the syrup for 2 minutes. Remove from syrup and garnish with pistachios.
