Method
For the kachoris

Combine all the ingredients and knead into a firm dough using enough water.
Cover the dough with a lid and keep aside for 10 minutes.
Divide the filling into 12 equal portions.
Roll out a portion of the dough into a 100 mm. (4") diameter circle without using any flour for rolling.
Place a portion of the filling in the centre (as shown in image 1).
Fold it over to make a semi-circle (as shown in image 2).
Seal the ends completely using a little water (as shown in the image 3).
Twist the edges of the kachori (as shown in the image 4).
Repeat for the remaining dough circles and filling to make 11 more kachoris.
Heat the ghee in a deep non-stick kadhai and deep-fry, a few kachoris at a time on a slow flame till they turn golden brown in colour from all the sides.
Drain on an absorbent paper and keep aside to cool.

For the sugar syrup

Combine the sugar and 1 cup of water in a deep non-stick pan and cook on a medium flame for 6 to 8 minutes, while stirring occasionally.
Add the saffron and mix well. Keep aside.
