Method: 
Heat the ghee in a pan and fry the rava till light brown.  When cool add the sugar, coconut, chopped raisins and cashew nut and cardamom powder and mix it well.

Take small portions of the dough and roll it round & thin.  Add one or two tsp of the filling in the centre close and press it by adding a little water to the edges so that the sides stick together.With a clove you can press on the edges (this is optional).  After preparing all the puffs, heat oil in a wok/kadai and deep fry few at a time.  Fry the puffs on both sides till light brown and remove on to a tissue so that the excess oil is absorbed.   When it is completely cool you can store it in an air tight bin.
