METHOD:

  • Sieve maiz/makki flour and set aside.
  • In a pan add shakar in 1 cup of water, let it dissolve and strain this as well.
  • Add cardamom, coconut, nuts and knead flour with shakar water, set aside.
  • Now roll the dough to make a thin flat circle/roti and cut with doughnut cutter.
  • I made small balls and then roll them and fried using 2 tbsp oil.
