1. Boil water in a medium sized pot, and add sugar, green cardamoms and saffron. Simmer for about 10 minutes.

2. Strain the infused sugar syrup and set aside to cool.

3. In a large mixing bowl, sieve milk powder, plain flour, baking powder and soda bicarbonate, evenly to mix well. Then, gradually add in fresh milk, and clarified butter or ghee and mix well.

Tip: If consistency is too wet and sticky, add lesser milk and butter.

4. Cover bowl with cling wrap and set aside to rest for about 10 minutes until it forms a dough.
