Ingredients


12 apple rings
1 cup plain flour (maida)
1/4 tsp dry yeast
1 tbsp melted ghee
1 tsp sugar
oil for deep-frying

For the sugar syrup
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp saffron (kesar) strands
2 tsp rose water

For the garnish
1/2 tsp cardamom (elaichi) powder
1 tbsp blanched and sliced pistachios
rose petals (optional)

Method
  1. Add the yeast and 2 pinches of sugar to 1/2 cup of lukewarm water. Mix well.
  2. Sprinkle 2 pinches of flour on top. Cover and keep for 3 to 4 minutes. If the cup is full of froth, the yeast is ready to use.
  3. Mix the flour, sugar, melted ghee and yeast liquid and some warm water until the mixture has the consistency of a thick batter.
  4. Cover and keep for 40 to 50 minutes. Mix well again.
  5. Dip the apple rings in this batter and deep fry in oil both sides until crisp. Drain.

For the sugar syrup
  1. Dissolve the sugar in 1 cup of water and boil for 5 minutes.
  2. Warm the saffron in a small vessel, add a little milk and rub until the saffron dissolves. Add to the syrup.
  3. Add the rose water.
  4. Keep the syrup warm. The syrup should be of 1 thread consistency.

How to proceed
  1. Remove the hot syrup from the flame and drop apple rings into it. Soak for 1 minute and drain.
  2. Sprinkle with the cardamom powder, pistachios and rose petals.
  3. Serve hot.

Tips
  1. As this batter is a little difficult to handle, make sure it coats the apple rings evenly.
  2. Persevere and the results will be worth the trouble.
