In bowl, take the maida and ghee. Rub in the ghee well, till you get the crumble. Then slowly add water and knead apliable dough.



Melt sugar Then cook till you get one thread consistency.



Divide the dough into small balls of size smaller than regular pooris. Dust the dough and roll out as you do your regular pooris. Roll them as thin as possible.

Using the knife, leaving an inch intact, make long insertions, vertically towards the end. Continue to do so till the end Gently remove from the board, gathering the uncut disc. Shake the disc a bit and the strips will fall as long strips.



Gently drop them into hot oil and cook in sim on both the sides. The trick to get all of the as separate, is to make them as you fry them. When you prepare these shapes and allow them to rest, they will loose shape!
