Chiroti Recipe - Delicious Crispy Layered Sweet Puri

Step 1: To begin making the Chiroti recipe, we will first begin with the dough

Step 2: In a wide bowl, mix maida, ghee and knead into a stiff dough adding water gradually

Step 3: You can also use the a food processor like I have, do knead the dough and bring it together

Step 4: The dough should be firm and smooth, similar to that of a puri

Step 5: Cover and set aside for 15-20 minutes

Step 6: To prepare sugar syrup, add sugar and water in a pan and allow to boil

Step 7: Once the syrup starts boiling, reduce the flame to low and check the consistency of sugar syrup

Step 8: You should have a one string consistency sugar syrup

Step 9: Add cardamom powder and turn off heat

Step 10: Set aside

Step 11: In a small bowl, mix ghee, rice flour and maida

Step 12: Stir and keep aside

Step 13: Now, we will make the puris

Step 14: Divide the dough in 6 equal parts and make balls out of it

Step 15: Roll out each ball into a big round (big sized roti)

Step 16: Now take 1 roti and apply ghee-flour mixture and spread evenly on it

Step 17: Place another roti on it and apply ghee-flour mixture over it

Step 18: Now, place the third roti and apply the ghee-flour mixture

Step 19: Then roll them up into a log

Step 20: With the help of a knife, cut small pieces of the roll

Step 21: These would now look like mini swiss rolls or pinwheels

Step 22: Repeat the same process for the remaining 3 rotis

Step 23: Lightly press these pinwheels and flatten them to form a disc

Step 24: These are now flattened chiroti dough, which we now need to deepfry

Step 25: Heat oil in a heavy bottomed pan for frying the chiroti

Step 26: Fry the prepared chiroti until it turns light golden and crisp

Step 27: Immediately soak these chiroti in the prepared warm sugar syrup

Step 28: When you dip the chiroti puris, syrup should neither be too hot nor at room temperature

Step 29: It should be warm

Step 30: Soak the chiroti in the syrup for about a minute or until it gets well coated

Step 31: Take the Chiroti out and place it on a platter

Step 32: Sprinkle chopped nuts over the chiroti and allow it to cool

Step 33: Once cooled, store the Chiroti in an air-tight container and serve as desired

Step 34: Serve Chiroti as a sweet along with your festive meal or you can serve it your guests on Diwali along with other snacks like Instant Poha Chivda and Masala Chai Recipe - Indian Spiced Tea
