Make the Dough:

• In a big bowl, mix the flour, oil, and water together.
• Knead it with your hands until it feels smooth.

 

Prepare the Filling:

• In another bowl, mix the ghee, oil, ground rice, corn flour, and flour.
• Make sure it’s not too thick or too runny. It should be just right!

 

Roll the Dough:

• Roll out the dough as thin as you can, like a big flat pancake.
• Spread the filling evenly on top of the dough.

 

Shape the Khaja:

• Roll the dough up tightly, like making a roll.
• Cut the rolled-up dough into small pieces, about a finger inch.
• Take each piece and roll it gently about 1 inch long vertically.

 

Make the Syrup:

• In a pot, boil the water and sugar together until it gets a little thick.
• Add a pinch of cardamom to make it taste yummy.

 

Fry the Khaja:

• Heat some oil in a pan on medium heat.
• Fry the khaja pieces until they turn golden brown.

 

Add the Syrup:

• Once the khaja is fried, pour a tablespoon of syrup over each piece while it’s still hot.

Enjoy your delicious Khaja and Happy Diwali!
