Ingredients

Ghee - 1 spoon & Grated Coconut - 1 cup
Sugar -1/2 cup & Kova - 1/2 cup
All purpose Flour - 1 cup & Rava - 1 cup
Oil - 2tbsp & Milk - 3/4 cup
Corn flour-1 cup& Ghee- for frying

Directions

In a teaspoon of ghee, fry grated coconut in a pan. When the coconut gets wet, add 1/2 cup of sugar and melt it. When the sugar melts, add the khowa and mix it together. Also, add the cardamom powder to it. Stir for about 2-3 minutes and let it cool.
This sweet filling is called "saran." Now put a cup of flour and powdered rava, two spoons of oil, and a pinch of salt on a plate and mix them. Knead the dough with milk until it is soft. Leave the kneaded dough to soak for 4-5 hours.
When the dough is soaked, take a small ball from the dough and roll it into a chapati. Roll u five chapatis. Now apply oil to the first chapati and spread corn flour on it. Place the second chapati on top of the first chapati and spread oil and corn flour on that chapati.
In the same way, layer all the remaining chapatis on top of each other. Now make an airtight roll of the prepared chapatis, cut it into small balls as shown, and roll it flat again. Fill saran in it and seal it using milk.
Transfer the prepared karanji onto an oddy Uniwraps paper to avoid sticking to the rolling board until they are dropped into ghee for frying. Drop the prepared karanji into hot ghee and fry them on medium heat. The multi-layered pudachi karanji, which is crispy on the outside with a sweet filling inside, is ready.
