Step 1
Mix flour with 2 tbsp ghee and a pinch of salt until breadcrumb texture, then add water 1 tbsp at a time until soft, non-sticky dough forms.
Step 2
Heat remaining 2 tbsp ghee in a small saucepan over medium. Add jaggery, water, and crushed cardamom pods; stir until jaggery dissolves, ~3 minutes.
Step 3
Heat oil in a deep skillet or wok to 350°F (test by dropping a small flour ball—it should sizzle and float within 2 seconds).
Step 4
Divide dough into 8 balls. Roll each thin, coil into a flat spiral, then gently slide into hot oil and fry 2 minutes per side until deep golden.
Step 5
Lift imartis with a slotted spoon, drain briefly on paper towels, then immediately dip into warm jaggery syrup until coated.
Step 6
Stack on a plate and scatter chopped nuts over the top. Serve warm.
