In a bowl mix the flour/ maida and ghee first, then add water and knead it into a medium soft dough. Cover and rest it for 10 minutes. In the meanwhile mix, sugar, water, saffron and cardamom powder and put on the flame...once the sugar melts let it boil and cook for 5 minutes. Put off the flame.

Form slurry with the ghee and flour/ maida. Heat oil to deep fry.Divide the dough into 8 parts, roll out like roti / Puri. Once everything is rolled out, take one roti at a time and apply the slurry, keep another roti on top of it in this way keep 4 in total, apply slurry on the last roti also. Then tightly pack it into a roll and cut into 1 inch pieces. Roll each piece length wise in 3 to 4 inches length, pressing it first slantly with your hand, so that when you fry, you can see the layers.

In this way, prepare the other 4 rotis and repeat the process. Fry it on a low flame till it's golden brown and crispy. Keep it on a paper towel to absorb excess oil if any and to cool for about a minute or two. Then dip it in the warm sugar syrup for a minute or two and take it out. Bring it to room temperature and serve or while it is lukewarm. It taste divine ! Garnish it with Pistachio and edible rose petals, this is totally optional.
