CHIROTI

 A simple sweet, but you need a lot of practice. If you have ever tried the kajalu recipe then I am sure you can make them in the first attempt itself. When made with perfection and love these just melts away in your mouth. 
INGREDIENTS

  • Maida                            3 cups
  • Sugar                            2 cups
  • Ghee                             3+2 Tsp
  • Rice flour                     3 Tsp
  • Water                           as required
  • Oil                               for deep frying
  • Cardamom                  1 Tsp(powder)
PROCEDURE
In a bowl,  mix in the maida and 3 tablespoons of ghee. Mix well till a crumbling mixture is formed.
Now add water little by little and make a thick dough just like the puri dough.
Cover and let rest for an hour.
Mix in the rice flour and the remaining ghee and make a thick paste.
Take a big golf ball size dough and roll it into very thin and large chapati.
Roll one more chapati of the same size.
Smear the rice flour paste on one chapati and place the second on it.
Smear some more paste on the top layer and now roll the two chapatis like a mat.
Cut into half inch pieces.
Now roll each piece into round discs.
Deep fry the discs on a medium flame.
Take a very large open pan and add the sugar and water. We will add the fried chiroti and mix them in the same pan so use a large pan.
Make a thick sugar syrup with 2 cups of sugar. Add water just enough to cover the sugar and boil the syrup till you get the ball consistency. 
Add the cardamom powder and switch off the flame
Gently drop the fried chiroti into the sugar syrup. Keep stirring gently till the sugar is well coated and the sugar  begins to solidify.
Remove onto a large plate and let cool.
Serve with a hot cup of coffee.
