Powder 1/4 cup sugar.
In a wide bowl add the maida, powdered sugar, melted ghee and a pinch of cardamom.

Keep it covered for 30 minutes.
Take out and dust a board. Roll the dough over the board.
Let this be bit thick.
Cut them into squares.
Fry this in batches in a low flame.
Once they become golden brown, take out from oil.
Drain excess oil in the kitchen towel.
I used 3/4 cup of the maida biscuits for this recipe.
The Original recipe use split deskined peanut. So i used the same. If you want to add whole peanuts, feel free to use.
Deep fry the peanuts in oil and keep it aside.
Deep fry the cashew nuts too. Be careful as peanut and cashew nuts get burnt very fast.
Keep the flame low.
Drain the excess oil in a kitchen towel.
If using curry leaves, wash them and pat dry in a towel and then deep fry it till crisp.
