This is a classic Indian dessert favorite of many. These are dark golden brown fritters soaked in light syrup which is delicately flavored with rose water, saffron and cardamom. Although this version asks for a filling of your choice, it is not necessary to have a filling.

Divide dough in about 20 pieces. Make a depression in the center of each piece and place a couple of dried fruits or nuts. Cover the filling and shape into balls.
