Ingredients Serving: 6

  1. 1 cup of plain flour
  2. 1 tbsp of Mohan (Moin warm oil)
  3. 1/4 tsp salt
  4. Water to knead
  5. Oil to fry
  6. 1 cup sugar
  7. 2 cups of water
  8. Lemon juice 1 tsp
  9. Cardamom powder 1/2 tsp

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough first and then the sugar syrup.
  2. Mix all the ingredients and knead into a tight dough. Cover and keep aside for sometime. My dough rested for about 2 hours. Using a mortar and pestle, beat the dough into a smooth, pliable one.
  3. Make a thick syrup with sugar and water, then add the lemon juice and keep aside. To this add the cardamom powder. Using 1 cup of sugar with 2 cups of water.
  4. Back to the dough, make small balls and roll into a regular circular puri. Using a sharp knife, make slits in the puris, making sure to keep the slits away from the edges.
  5. Fold each puri and twist as you move to the other end of the circle. These are then twisted and joined just like buds.
  6. Heat oil in a deep pan. Carefully release each Champakali in hot oil and fry till they are lightly golden brown and done.
  7. Dip each of the Champakali in sugar syrup while the syrup is still hot.
