Here is the step by step pictorial recipe:

So here is the Recipe of Fool or Phool: (Rosette Cookies)

Ingredients:

250 g Maida (white flour or you can use whole wheat flour instead)

125 g Sugar

1 large Egg

A pinch of Salt

1/8th tsp Cardamom Powder

A pinch of Saffron

Water for making batter

Oil for frying

Method:

1. Take a bowl and break egg in it. Add sugar, salt, cardamom powder and saffron and beat well then slowly mix in the flour adding little water to avoid forming lumps. Adjust water to make a batter of pouring consistency. The batter shouldn't be runny as it won't get stick to the mould neither too thick as that will result in dense and chewy cookies.

2. Now heat oil till it medium hot. Dip the mould in oil for about 20 seconds now immediately dip it into the batter. You shouldn't dip it completely in batter otherwise it will stick badly and won't leave proper shapes in oil.

3. Once sufficient batter has collected on the mould head move it to the oil and hold till it leaves the cookies in oil. Repeat with remaining batter and fry till just golden.

4. Remove on absorbent paper and then store them in container. You can sprinkle powdered sugar on fools or you can serve them with malai (fresh cream) and rabdi.
