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

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

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
