Ingrdients:

·        All purpose flour: 1 cup

·        Rice powder: 2 tbs

·        a pinch of salt

·        Sugar: 1 cup

·        Water: 1/2 cup

·        Ghee: 2 tbs

·        Cardamom powder: 1/2 tbs

·        oil for deep fry

Method:

Add a pinch of salt to 1 cup of maida.  Mix well in a large bowl.  Add sufficient water and make a smooth dough. Cover and leave it for at least 20 min.  

Now divide the dough into equal parts and roll them to thin rotis.  

Now take a roti, apply ghee to it evenly all over. Sprinkle rice powder over it and spread it all over

Now place another roti over it and repeat the same procedure.  Place around 3 rotis in the same manner and roll the rotis together

Now cut the roll to equal portions with a knife.  Slightly roll each piece with the roller.  Prepare all the kajas in the same manner.

Heat oil for deep fry.  Fry the kajas in a medium flame until they turn to golden color.  Remove from the oil and place them on a absorbent paper.

Take a cup of sugar in a thick bottomed vessel and add half cup of water to it.  Heat it and make the sugar syrup.  ( the sugar syrup should be one thread consistency).  Add the cardamom powder.

Now drop the fried kajas into the sugar syrup.  Leave them for 2 to 3 mins. and turn them to the other side.  Leave them for another 2 to 3 mins. and remove them.  Allow them to cool and store them in a air tight container.
