¾ cup sugar
1/3 cup water
½ teaspoon elaichi/cardamom powder

Method
For The Dough- In a wide bowl, mix maida, ghee and knead into a stiff dough adding water gradually.
- Add ½ teaspoon oil and knead the dough again.
- Dough should not be soft and smooth. It should be same as that of a puri. Cover and set aside for 15-20 minutes.
For the Sugar Syrup- To prepare sugar syrup, add sugar and water in a pan and allow to boil. Once the syrup starts boiling, reduce the flame to low and check the consistency of sugar syrup.
- You should have a one string consistency sugar syrup.
- Switch off the flame and add cardamom powder. Set aside.
To be Mixed Together
- In a small bowl, mix ghee, rice flour and maida. Stir and keep aside.
Preparing Puris- Divide the dough in 6 equal parts and make balls out of it.
- Roll out each ball into a big round (big sized roti).
- Now take 1 roti and apply ghee-flour mixture and spread evenly on it. Place another roti on it and apply ghee-flour mixture over it. Now, place the third roti and apply the ghee-flour mixture.
- Then roll them up. With the help of a knife, cut small pieces of the roll. These would now look like mini swiss rolls.
- Repeat the same process for the remaining 3 rotis.
- Take a small piece that we had cut from that roll on a rolling pin. Press it lightly with your palm and roll into a small disc shape (puri shape). Roll it gently.
- In the same manner, prepare all the other puris.
- Heat oil for frying puris.
- Fry the prepared puris till light golden and crisp.
- Immediately soak these puris in the prepared warm sugar syrup. When you dip the puris, syrup should neither be too hot nor at room temperature. It should be warm.
- Soak for 1-2 minutes.
- Take out on a plate and sprinkle chopped nuts over them.
- Once cooled, store them in an air-tight container.
