Sweet mathris
Take 2 Cups of maida, add 4 tbspns of ghee to it. Rub it well until you get breadcrumbs like texture. Then add water little by little, knead it into a very soft dough. Cover the dough and let it rest for 5 mins.
Roll the dough into a thin sheet. Using a fondant cutter or cookie cutter, cut the rolled dough into a flower shape. I have used 2 different sized cutters here.
Place the cut shapes in a baking mould overlapping each other.
Place all the cut pieces on a plate and cover it.
Take a cupcake mould and grease some oil on it. Place the cut pieces into it carefully.
Strings
Roll the remaining dough. Cut into long stripes. Take 2 stripes and intertwine them giving them the shape of rope. Place everything on a baking tray.
Brush some ghee and bake the sweet mathris and strings in a preheated oven at 180°C for 25 mins.
Make sugar syrup of 1 string consistency. Leave the sweet mathris and strings in syrup for 30 mins.
Coconut Jaggery Ladoos
Melt jaggery with half cup of water and strain any impurities.
Take a heavy bottom vessel and add grated coconut, melted jaggery, 1/2 cup water and cardamom powder.
Let the coconut cook in jaggery syrup. Stir the mixture well.
Cook until the mixture thickens. Do not cook for too long, else the ladoos turn hard.
When the mixture is still warm, grease your palm with oil and make small balls.
Plating the Edible Rakhis
After removing sweet mathris and strings from sugar syrup, place them on a serving plate and garnish it with coconut jaggery by placing it in the center of the edible Rakhi.
