• Take maida in a bowl…add 3 tspns of oil , pinch of soda n mix in the flour..now take enough water n mix with maida n make the dough like puri/chapati dough, cover it with wet paper towel or cloth n keep it aside till we make the sugar syrup.
• Take sugar  in a wide vessel n add water water it the sugar immerse in water…if u add more water..it will take lot of time to make the syrup…keep flame in medium to high , stir occasionally. The sugar melts in water n become thick…the syrup should nt become too thick nor too loose..make sure to  off the stove before the syrup comes to one string consistency .
• Now ..clean the surface n roll the dough with rolling pin like single chapati… dough should be rolled to very thin layer.can sprinkle maida  flour while rolling.
• Now from end..simply n carefully  fold the chapati like roll..sprinkle maida flour between each rolls..so that the rolls should nt stick to each other…now cut n remove the edges. now cut the roll in small 1 inch pieces… now take each piece ,make a small press on the piece with thumb n roll it with rolling pin twice n keep it on a place…in the same way do with all the pieces.
• Heat  enough oil in a shallow pan for deep frying ,when the oil is little hot..place all the kaja pieces placed in the place n fry them slowly n carefully  till they turn to nice golden color…now remove them from oil n place in sugar syrup…the syrup should be a bit more than Luke warm  in temperature ..Waite for 4 to 5 minutes n remove them to plate…now add the elachi / cardamom powder in the sugar syrup…heat  the syrup for a minute n off the flame…now again place the kaja in the sugar syrup for the second time..by adding the kaja in the syrup for the 2nd time..the juice that is there in layers will be locked in side…n also the sweets  get the elachi essence ..Waite for a minute n remove the sweets from syrup n spread  them on plate..so that they get cool down..
