Dhai Tara/Wara

INGREDIENTS

1 ½ cups Supreme All Purpose Flour & extra for dusting
½ cup yogurt
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp Supreme Green Cardamom Powder
¼ cup melted ghee
Pinch of salt
Oil to shallow fry

Garnish:
Supreme Dessicated Coconut
Edible rose petals
For syrup:
1 cup sugar
½ cup water
5 Supreme Cardamom pods
Pinch of Supreme Saffron
Slice of lemon

METHOD

In a bowl, mix together flour, yogurt, baking powder, green cardamom powder, melted ghee and salt. Knead until you have a soft dough. Cover the dough and rest for 1 hour. Prepare syrup: add sugar, saffron, cardamom pods and water to a saucepan and boil until the syrup thickens. Remove from heat and let syrup cool to room temperature. Divide the dough into 4 portions. Lightly dust with flour and roll out to about the thickness of a pound coin. Use a small cookie cutter to cut out shapes of the dough. Repeat with remaining dough. Heat enough oil over medium-high to shallow fry. Gently add pieces of dough into the oil and fry until puffed and golden on both sides. Fry in batches and don’t overcrowd the pan. Drain onto kitchen paper then dip into the syrup. Garnish with rose petals & dessicated coconut. Serve immediately or at room temperature.
