Chiroti is a delicacy predominantly found in South India. It is served as a dessert on special occasions such as a festival or a wedding.[1]

It's prepared [2] by rolling out kneaded dough made of maida into layered circular shapes and then deep frying in ghee or refined oil. The outcome resembles a semi golden brown fluffy poori, which is then sprinkled liberally with powdered sugar and optionally grated almonds and cashew.
