Step 1
Mix flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Add 0.25 cup water and knead until soft, smooth dough forms.
Step 2
Crush cardamom pods. Heat sugar with 1 cup water and cardamom until syrup thickens, ~3 minutes. Stir in rose water.
Step 3
Roll dough into 8 balls. Flatten each gently into a 3-inch disk, keeping them soft and unstretched.
Step 4
Heat oil in a deep skillet to 350°F. Fry disks 60 seconds per side until puffed and golden without moving them.
Step 5
Drop fried disks into warm syrup. Let soak 30 seconds, turning once to coat both sides evenly.
Step 6
Arrange on a plate, drizzle generously with condensed milk, and serve warm.
