Preparation time

To prepare Assamese Sweet Kordoi Recipe, mix together the flour and salt
Add the ghee and mix
Adding water gradually, knead until you have a smooth pliable dough
Cover and keep aside for 15 minutes
Make bigger balls of dough, about 2 inches in size
On a lightly dusted surface, roll each dough ball into a small circle (about 5-6 inches)
Using a sharp knife , cut 6-7 vertical and parallel lines into the dough circle , each line about 1/2 inch from the next
Dont cut all the way through
The lines should not reach the edge of the circle (about 1/4 inch from the edge)
Think of a slotted spoon !Starting from one end, roll the dough circle
Pinch both the ends and push the ends gently towards the centre
This will fluff up the centre and give the kordoi its characteristic shape like a start fruit
Repeat with all the dough
This measurement makes about 12 such kordoi
Heat oil in a deep frying pan and fry the shaped kordoi in batches until golden brown and crisp
Cool the kordoi, placing them on kitchen towels or tissue to drain excess oil
Meanwhile, make the sugar syrup by bringing the sugar and water to a boil in a saucepan
Simmer for few minutes until syrup is thick and sticky
One by one, drop the kordoi into this syrup, turn over to the other side, and remove
Serve Assamese Sweet Kordoi Recipe warm or cool, paired withÂ Adrak Chai
