1/4 teaspoon	cardamom powder

Instructions

1. 1 In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and ghee. Mix well until crumbly.
2. 2 Gradually add cold milk and cold water to the flour mixture, whisking continuously to form a smooth batter.
3. 3 Heat ghee in a deep frying pan over medium heat. The ghee should be at least 3 inches deep.
4. 4 Pour a ladleful of batter in a thin stream into the center of the hot ghee. Allow it to spread naturally.
5. 5 Once the bubbles subside, pour another ladleful of batter in the center. Repeat this process until the ghevar is of desired thickness.
6. 6 Using a skewer, make a hole in the center to help drain excess ghee.
7. 7 Carefully remove the ghevar from the ghee and place it on a wire rack to drain excess ghee.
8. 8 In a saucepan, combine sugar and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil and simmer until it reaches a one-string consistency.
9. 9 Add cardamom powder, lemon juice, and saffron strands to the syrup. Mix well.
10. 10 Dip the prepared ghevar in the warm sugar syrup, ensuring it is well coated.
11. 11 Garnish with chopped nuts and allow to cool before serving.
