Method:

• Knead the maida by adding little salt to this in a smooth dough.
• Keep it covered and set aside.

• Boil the milk in a saucepan or kadai and keep it in a low flame.
• When it comes to a nice boil and the quantity of the milk reduces little,add the condensed milk.
• 
• Soak saffron in warm milk and add to this boiling milk.
• I didn’t add as i was running out of saffron.
• Add sugar and cardamom powder.
• Transfer the milk to a wide mouthed vessel.
• Divide the dough into 12 equal parts.
• Roll it into pooris ,if u want a proper circle shape,it can be done with the help of a lid.
