Ingredients for the dough:
# Maida(All Purpose Flour) or Sooji(Fine cream of wheat) 4 Cups
# Ghee(Clarified Butter) 2 Tablespoons
# Sugar 4 Tablespoons
# Salt 1 1/2 Teaspoon
# Lukewarm Water 1 1/2 - 1 3/4 Cup

Ingredients for the paste:
# Soft Butter 6 Tablespoons
# Rice Flour 4 Tablespoons

Ingredients for the Topping:
# Powdered Sugar 1 1/2 Cups
# Finely Powdered Cloves or Cardamoms 1 1/4 Teaspoon

Method:

To prepare the dough:
Put maida or sooji in a big pan, dig up the middle of the pile to make a well. Add lukewarm water,salt, sugar, and melted ghee into this well. Slowly mix and knead well to make a smooth dough without any lumps. (If you are using sooji, make the dough at least one hour in advance and pound the dough a few times to knead it very well.)

To prepare the paste:
Make the butter soft by bringing it to room temperature. Then add the rice flour and mix well with a spoon. Knead well with the spoon to get rid of all the lumps.

To prepare the topping:
Mix well the powdered sugar and powdered cloves/cardamoms. (You can decrease or increase the amount of cloves/cardamoms according to your taste.)

Roll the dough with your hands to make a 12" rope. Then divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and roll them into smooth balls. With a rolling pin, roll each ball into 6" circle. Place 3/4 tb of the paste on one circle and spread it evenly and top it with another circle. Repeat one more time, this process of spreading the paste and putting another circle on top of it. On this third circle, just spread the paste. This makes a stack of three circles. Now roll this stack circles to make a cylinder. Cut this cylinder into 10 equal pieces. Make flattened balls of these pieces in such a way that the cut sides will be the top and bottom sides of the flattened balls. Roll these into 4" thin circles. Heat the oil and deep fry these rolled circles one by one, untill both the sides turn to golden brown colour. Drain the oil fully from the fried circle, if there is excess oil, you can try to pat it out with paper towels. Then sprinkle the topping on both the sides of the Chiroti. When the Chirotis cool down store them in an air- tight container. They stay good for about a week, if stored in an air-tight container.
