Ingredients
Flour, sugar, oil and butter, cardamom, crunchy almond , raisins, cinnamon and water.
Procedure
First, water is boiled in a pot adding cinnamon and cardamom. When the water is hot, sugar is added to make a syrup. Thin syrup is good for the best texture. The sugar syrup is then mixed with flour on medium low flame. The mixture is stirred repeatedly until the Tusha turns brown and the water is absorbed. By this way, the consistency will be a soft sugary dough. If the mixture is burned, it will taste bitter. When the process is done, the sugar syrup will be absorbed by the flour. It is usually served with raisins and almonds.
