This is one of the tasty sweet I ever had. It is made of Poori in all purpose flour and dipped in sugar syrup and served. This can be done as part of Diwali sweets or simply as a sunday evening treat to kids.
Ingredients: |

For Poli: |
|
| All purpose flour (Maida) | – 1 cup |
| Water | – as needed |
| Salt | – a pinch |
| Oil | – for frying |
For Sugar Syrup (Jeera): |
|
| Sugar | – 1 cup |
| Water | – ½ cup for syrup |
| Cardamom powder | – 1 tsp. |
Method:
- First sift the maida without any lumps and keep aside.
- Mix maida, salt and water with 2 tsp. of oil to a firm and soft dough.
- Close with a lid and set aside for 30 minutes.
- In a vessel take sugar and water and boil till 1 string consistency and keep in simmer. That is when you takea drop of syrup between thumb and index finger andpull it apart, you will see a string formed. Turn off the stove.
- Take small balls from the dough and roll into pooris.
- Fry them and put in jeera syrup immediately and remove and keep in a plate.
