Instructions

Prepare the Dough

Combine all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Gradually add water, mixing until a soft, pliable dough forms. Knead the dough for a few minutes until smooth.

Roll and Cut the Dough

Roll out the dough into thin circles or flatbreads (like small rotis). Cut each roti into small, bite-sized pieces.

Cook the Sweet Kuuthi

Heat desi ghee in a pan over low heat. Add the ground cardamom (or crushed green cardamom pods) and sauté for a few seconds until fragrant.
Add the small dough pieces to the pan and stir gently to coat them evenly with ghee and cardamom.
Sprinkle the sugar evenly over the dough pieces.
Continue to stir gently and cook over low heat for approximately 5-7 minutes, or until the dough pieces are golden brown and crispy, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Serve and Enjoy

Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Serve warm and enjoy your Sweet Kuuthi!
