Ingredients

• 1 cup maida (all purpose flour)
• 2 table spoons rice powder
• a pinch of salt
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup water
• 2 table spoons ghee
• 1/2 tea spoon cardamom powder
• oil for deep fry

Method

Add a pinch of salt to 1 cup of maida.  Mix well in a large bowl.  Add sufficient water and make a smooth dough. Cover and leave it for at least 15 min.  

Now divide the dough into equal parts and roll them to thin rotis.  You can see in the pic above.

Now take a roti, apply ghee to it evenly all over. Sprinkle rice powder over it and spread it all over as shown in the pic above



Now place another roti over it and repeat the same procedure.  Place around 3 rotis in the same manner and roll the rotis together as shown in the pic above.

Now cut the roll to equal portions with a knife.  Slightly roll each piece with the roller as shown above.  Prepare all the kajas in the same manner.



Heat oil for deep fry.  Fry the kajas in a medium flame until they turn to golden color.  Remove from the oil and place them on a absorbent paper.




​


Take a cup of sugar in a thick bottomed vessel and add half cup of water to it.  Heat it and make the sugar syrup.  ( the sugar syrup should be one thread consistency)







Now drop the fried kajas into the sugar syrup.  Leave them for 2 to 3 mins. and turn them to the other side.  Leave them for another 2 to 3 mins. and remove them.  Allow them to cool and store them in a air tight container.  Tasty Sweet Kaja (Teepi Kajalu) are ready...
