INGREDIENTS

  • Wet Ingredients

    • 🥛 1 cup warm milk
    • ÂĽ cup vegetable oil
    • 🥚 1 medium egg
  • Dry Ingredients

    • 🍬 ÂĽ cup fine white sugar
    • 2 teaspoons instant yeast
    • đź§‚ ½ teaspoon salt
    • ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
    • 🌾 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour, sifted
  • For Frying

    • 2 quarts vegetable oil for frying, or as needed

STEPS

1

Combine warm milk, vegetable oil, sugar, egg, instant yeast, salt, and cardamom in a large bowl. Gradually mix in flour 1 cup at a time until the dough is easily handled.

2

Knead the dough on a flat surface until it becomes non-sticky. Return to the bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

3

Press the dough down gently, knead briefly again, and divide it into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, keeping them covered to prevent drying.

4

Roll out one dough ball on a floured surface into a 1/3-inch-thick circle and cut into 4 triangles. Repeat for the other dough balls, keeping them covered.

5

Heat 2 inches of oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan over medium heat.

6

Working in batches, fry triangles in hot oil until puffed and lightly golden on each side (1-2 minutes per side). Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
