Preparation / Directions:
Mix refined flour and enough water to make a sticky batter of pouring consistency. Beat well to break lumps, if any, and leave covered for 24 hours.
Heat sugar with 3 cups of water to make a sticky syrup of one-third consistency. Add lemon juice. Remove the foam from the top of the syrup with a wire sieve or spoon. Add saffron, cardamom powder, colour and reserve.
Beat the overnight batter and keep aside. Heat 3 cups of clarified butter (ghee) in a wide pan. When the ghee is almost smoking, lower the flame. Put the beaten batter in coconut half-shell with a small hole in it, and pour into the hot ghee in a circular motion making four or five circles for over.
Remove with a slotted spoon, draining all the ghee and place in the syrup. Garnish it with cardamom powder and blanched pistachios.
