Ingredients:

Plain flour or maida-4 cups
Salt-a pinch
Sooji-2 tablespoons
Sugar-2 cups
Oil for deep fry

2. Divide the dough into lemon sized balls.
3. Roll the balls into rectangular shapes using the rolling pin.
4. Cut them into straight lines using a knife or biscuit cutter.
5. Fold all the lines together and joint the ends on both sides using oil.
6. Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry them until they turn brown in colour.
7. Boil the sugar with two cups of water in a thick bottomed vessel and make a syrup with one string consistency.
8. Add the cardamom powder and lower the flame.
9. Dip the deep fried panasa thonalu into the syrup and take them out.
