Stages of cooking
-
Sieve flour to get rid of the lumps.
-
Take a bowl and mix flour, milk, ghee and salt there.
-
Add water and knead soft dough. Use as much water as you need. Then cover the bowl with cotton cloth and set aside for about 5-10 minutes.
-
Dredge the kitchen counter with flour and roll out the dough.
-
Now, take a deep bowl and mix rice flour with ghee there.
-
Grate pistachios and almonds and add them to the mixture.
-
Spread the mixture evenly on the layer of dough. Fold it tightly and cut into diamond-shaped pieces.
-
Press and roll out each piece of dough. Leave it aside for a while.
-
Now, it is high time to cook sugar syrup. Mix sugar and water in a pan and wait until it dissolves properly.
-
Add cardamom and boil on small fire for about 7 minutes. Then cut off the heat. Take another deep pot, heat ghee and oil in it and deep fry the cookies on both sides on medium fire.
-
As soon as the cookies become golden brown and crispy, take them out and drain on paper towels to get rid of extra oil.
-
Put the cookies into the sugar syrup and leave them there for about 2 minutes. Take them out then and let them cool down at the room temperature. You can store the readymade cookies in the airtight container for about 10 days! Bon appétit!
