  • 50 gm Pistachios powdered
  • 100 gm Sugar
  • 100 gm Water
  • 3 drops Rose Essence

  • Preheat oven to 180C.
  • Take a pastry sheet and apply melted ghee on half the portion.
  • Sprinkle powdered pistachios and fold the sheet.
  • Now apply melted ghee on top of the pastry sheet.
  • Cut the sheet into two equal portions.
  • With the help of a dowel rod, roll the sheet from the smaller side leaving 0.5 cm at the end.
  • Holding both ends of the rolled sheet, squeeze it to gather it into tiny pleats on the dowel.
  • Remove the dowel and bring both ends together to form a circle, leaving the extra 0.5 com pastry in the centre.
  • Arrange all the pastries in a baking tray. Press them together so that they don’t open up while baking.
  • Apply melted ghee on top of the pastries.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes until the pastry if nicely browned.
  • By the time the pastry is baking, let us make the sugar syrup.
  • Mix together sugar and water and bring to boil.

  • Remove from flame and set aside.
  • Once the pastry is out of oven, pour the syrup immediately on top of the pastries.

  • Allow them to cool completely. The syrup will be absorbed by all the pastries.
  • Let them air dry for thirty minutes before storing them in air tight box.
