Kajas [ sweet ]

Ingredients :

• Maida - 2 cups
• Bengal gram flour - 2 tbl sps [ heaped ]
• Curd - 1/2 tbl sp
• Sugar - 1 tsp
• Oil & ghee - for frying

For sugar syrup :

• Sugar - 11/4 cup
• Water - 3/4 cup

Method :

Sieve maida and mix with 1 tsp sugar and curd. Then sprinkle water and kneed to a smooth dough. Then mix enough oil with bengal gram flour to make it into bajji dough consistency. [ oil, flour mixture should easily speard when smeared ]. Make big balls out of maida dough. Roll out into very thin chappathis using more maida for dusting. Apply oil, flour paste evenly on each chappathi. Prepare a pile  five chappathis keeping one on top of another. Then first fold one end to about 2 inch width. Flatten the folded portion, and continue folding  in this manner to look like a flat roll. Then cut 1 inch pieces from the flattened roll. Press it on top with rolling bin. Theinner rings should remain at the sides. Prepare like this from all the balls. Then prepare sugar syrp of half string consistency, and remove from the fire and keep it warm. Heat oil and deep fry few kajas at a time till golden brown. Then put it in the sugar syrup and allow it to soak till next batch is fried. Arrange on a flat plate to dry. If more syrup is left over, pour it over kajas.

Variation :

Omit oil and bengal gram flour. Instead apply ghee on top of chappathi. Dust little  maida and fold.
