Mix maida, lil rice flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt and ghee. Add sufficient water to make a dough like puri dough. Keep aside the dough for an 1 hr.

Mix sugar and cardamom and powder it. Keep it aside.

Make 5-7 small balls from the dough. Roll out into very thin chapathis. Apply a bit of ghee on one of the chapati, sprinkle lil maida on it. Keep the next chapati on it slightly lower tothe 1st one, it should not overlap completely. Repeat the procedure to stack up all of them one lil below the other.

Roll the chapathis into a tight roll without pressing much. Cut the roll into equal pieces.
roll each piece into small circles carefully from center to the sides.

Heat oil in a pan. Deep fry on a medium flame. While frying, slightly pat on the layers to separate them a bit. Fry them until the beautiful slight buff-golden color appears. Spread the powdered sugar-cardamom mixture while they are hot.
