1. In a bowl, add water and jaggery. Stir continuously until the jaggery dissolves completely. Once melted , keep it aside .
2. In a separate mixing bowl, combine ragi flour, all-purpose flour, carom seeds, and 15 ml of oil. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
3. Gradually add the jaggery water to the flour mixture. Continue mixing until you achieve a smooth, lump-free batter.
4. Pour oil into a deep frying pan and heat it over medium flame. Place your rose cake mold in the hot oil and allow it to become sizzling hot.
5. Once the mold is hot, dip it into the batter, filling it up to three-quarters of its height. Make sure the batter adheres well to the mold.
6. Carefully dip the mold into the hot oil. After a minute or two, gently shake the mold to release the rose cake. If it doesn’t come off easily, use a fork or knife to help it release.
7. Continue frying until the rose cakes turn golden brown and crisp. Remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
8. Let the rose cakes cool completely at room temperature. Store them in an airtight container to maintain their crispy texture.
