Take a cup of All Purpose Flour / Maida in a mixing bowl. To it, add 1/2 tsp of Baking Soda and 1/4 cup of melted Butter / Ghee and mix well. Add required water and knead to make soft dough. Cover the dough and keep aside for an hour.
Divide the dough into 4 equal parts. Take one of them and roll out into a thin chapati. Grease it with Ghee and sprinkle All Purpose Flour / Maida on it. From one end of the chapati, roll it into a tight roll. Wet the end a little so the end sticks to the roll.
Cut the roll into an inch pieces. With your index finger or rolling pin, press them lightly to make them look like Kajas. Repeat for the rest of the dough.
Heat 2 cups of Water in a saucepan and let it boil. Stir in 2 cups of Sugar and allow the mixture to get to a 1-string consistency. Leave the pan on low heat while frying the kajas.
Heat oil in a pan until piping hot and remove from heat. Drop the prepared kajas into the oil and allow them to float. Then put the pan back on medium heat and fry until golden brown tossing them around. Remove and drain the kajas and put them into the sugar syrup. Toss them around and let them rest for 5 minutes for them to soak the syrup. Remove from the syrup and serve.
