In a pan, add sugar and water to make the sugar syrup. Let it boil and form One string consistency. Add saffron and cardamom powder to it and set aside.

In a mixing bowl, add all purpose flour, sugar and baking powder.

Add ¼ cup ghee to the mixture and mix well. The mixture will be crumbly.

Then add the yogurt and mix well.

Now add approximately ¼ cup water to the mixture and let it rest for 15 minutes. Do not knead the dough at this point.

Knead the dough gently and make sure it is not too soft or runny.

Take a deep bottomed pan and add the ghee for deep frying. Heat the ghee.

Fry all the dough portions on medium heat until they turn golden brown.
