Ingredients

4 cups plain flour

1/2 cup corn flour

3 cups water

5 cups vegetable oil

2 teaspoons yeast dissolved in 2 tablespoons warm water

A dash salt

Atter (Syrup)

=========

2 cups water

3 tablespoons orange blossom water

3 drops of lemon juice

5 cups sugar

Directions

Dissolve the yeast and set aside for 10 minutes.

Sift the flour and the salt in a big bowl. Add the water, and dissolved yeast and mix well.

Beat the batter with your hand until it becomes pliable and smooth.

Cover the batter with a piece of cloth and let stand in a warm place for 4 hours, until it is double in bulk.

Prepare the Atter (syrup).Combine sugar and water in a pan.

Heat till sugar dissolves completely. Let it boil for a minute.

Stir occasionally until syrup slightly thickens , turn the heat off. Add orange blossom water and lemon juice.

Syrup is ready.Let stand to cool.

Heat the oil in a heavy saucepan.

Scoop out a little dough-enough to fill your hand and squeeze your fist hard so as to push a ball of dough between thumb and finger.

Scoop out the ball with a wet teaspoon and drop into the hot oil.

The balls will swell and float to the top. Stir the balls until they are golden and crisp.

Drop the balls again in the hot oil and stir until they are dark golden.

Remove the balls from the oil.

Drain and drop into the cool syrup.

Remove promptly and serve hot or cold.

I made this recipe...halved the ingredients.But added more water than mentioned in the recipe(by mistake)...so the mixture was like a thin batter.I dropped them with a teaspoon in the hot oil.Well,it turned out good.It was like a Pakistani sweet "Boondi".Will be making this again,soon.
