Chiroti is a treasured Indian confection that brings sweetness and joy to every celebration. This traditional dessert is lovingly prepared for family festivals, religious occasions, and special moments.
In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, semolina, and 3 tbsp ghee. Rub until the mixture forms coarse crumbs; gradually add water to make a stiff dough. Cover with a damp towel and rest for 30 minutes.
Divide dough into 8 equal balls. Roll each into a thin disk (about 6 inches diameter) on a lightly floured surface.
Mix 4 tbsp ghee with cornstarch to make a smooth paste. Brush one disk with this paste, place another disk on top, brush again, and repeat stacking until all eight are layered, brushing between each.
Roll the stacked disks gently together into a tight log. Cut into 1-inch wide pieces. Flatten each cut spiral slightly and roll lightly into a thin disk to reveal layers.
Heat oil in a deep pan on medium heat (340–350°F). Fry each chiroti until crisp and light golden, flipping once for even cooking. Drain on paper towels.
While still warm, dust generously with powdered sugar mixed with cardamom powder and saffron. Serve once fully cooled for best flaky texture.
