1. Knead the dough by using the first 5 ingredients, like a soft chapati dough. Leave it to raise for 2 hours.

2. Add cloves & cardamom's powders to powdered sugar, mix them , keep aside.

3. Melt the ghee, add the rice flour to it, make a paste, keep aside.

4. Now, make lemon sized balls out of the chiroti dough. Press all of them into thin leaves.(like chapati)

5. Take 3-4 leaves at a time, spread them all with rice flour paste, keep them one on the other together. Press a little and role them into a cylindrical shape. Cut that into 1" pieces, leave aside. 6 .Likewise use all the leaves 3 or 4 at a time, paste them, role them, and cut them into 1" pieces.

7. Now heat the oil in a pan, press the pieces into puries, and deep fry them till light brown one by one. When it is done sprinkle the sugar powder over the fried puris (on both sides immediately).

8. Now it is ready to eat with (or without) Kesar milk!

Kesar Milk: Heat the milk, add sugar (for sweetness) and powdered kesar, mix it.

Variation: You can dip the fried puris in thick sugar syrup also instead of sprinkling the sugar powder.
