400 g — wheat flour
60 g — sugar
7 g — dry baker’s yeast
300 ml — drinking water
45 g — vegetable oil

Preparation

Mix flour, yeast, sugar, cardamom and salt, then add warm, not hot, coconut milk.

Knead 8–10 minutes, cover and rise about 90 minutes until clearly puffy.

Roll 1 cm thick, cut 24 small triangles and rest 25 minutes.

Heat about 1 litre frying oil to 170°C in a large pot no more than one-third full.

Fry small batches 4–5 minutes, turning, check cooked centres and drain on a rack.

The listed 35 g oil estimates absorption, not bath volume.

Provide additional frying-bath oil; listed oil is estimated uptake, not bath volume.
