Ingredients
- All purpose flour - 1 + 1/8 cup
- Egg - 1 ( I used a large egg)
- Baking powder - 1/4 teaspoon
- Sugar - 1/4 cup
- Cardamom - 1 pod
- Nutmeg - 1/8 teaspoon
- Canola oil - 2 cups for frying
- In a medium bowl mix, flour, cardamom, nutmeg powder and baking powder set aside.
- In a medium sauce pot add sugar and egg and when it slightly beaten add the flour mixture to form smooth dough and set aside for 40 minutes resting. (Add only enough flour to make smooth dough).
- When you are ready to fry, heat 2 cups of canola oil in a deep bottomed pan.
- Shape the smooth dough into a log and then cut them into five 2×2.5 inch piece squares. Make a deep cut in the center and again one opposite to the first cut.
- Fry them in medium heat for 4 minutes flipping them in between to ensure uniform cooking .Make sure that oil is not too hot then outside gets burns earlier and inner dough will not be cooked. Once they are cooked remove from the oil using a slotted spoon and transfer to kitchen towel to remove excess oil.
