Ingredients

  • 14 large spring roll sheets 30 cm square
  • 1 cup milk
  • 5 small eggs
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • A dash of cardamom powder
  • 2 tbsp ghee
  • 1/4 cup crushed cashewnuts
  • 1/8 cup raisins
  • 1 tbsp nigella seeds optional

Instructions

  • Let the spring roll sheets thaw.
  • Whisk together the milk, eggs and sugar. Cook them on low flame till the sugar is melted and it looks like a homogenous mixture. No need to thicken!
  • In a saucepan, heat ghee. Fry the cashewnuts. Add the raisins and switch off. Toss till fluffed. Drain off the dry fruits and divide into six portions.
  • In an 8 inch pan, add the ghee and coat all around. Dip one sheet into the egg mixture well and layer below. It may hang out, it is OK. Dip another sheet and layer on top. Sprinkle in some of the nuts and raisins.
  • Repeat this step - ie. dip 2 sheets, sprinkle some nuts, dip the next 2 and so on. You will end with the last two sheets on the top.
  • Sprinkle the nigella seeds if using. Pour the remaining egg-milk mixture on the corners and then to the top. This will help seal the sides.
  • Preheat your oven to 180 degrees and bake for 30 minutes or till the top looks browned and done. Alternatively, you can cook on stove top on low flame till done.
  • Allow to cool in pan for a couple of minutes and flip onto the serving dish. Serve warm.

Notes

If you would like to do the traditional way, then with 1 cup of all purpose flour, add some salt and knead with water into a pliable dough. Rest for sometime, divide it into 10 to 12 small balls. Roll them out really thin and then cook them partially. Cool and use.
