Meanwhile,take the sugar in a pan. Add water till the sugar covers and  then bring it to a boil. Cook till you get a consistency of one thread. This you can confirm, by touching the syrup with your thumb and index finger, when you will find one thread forming. Switch off the hob.

For Making the Kaja:

On the first rolled out chapati, apply melted butter and gram flour. Spread evenly all over. Now take the second chapati and place on the second. Press firmly.Again brush with butter and gram flour on the top.Starting from top,fold it like a roll.
Then cut into small pieces of 1 inch size.Press them down on the vertical side, then roll them out to get a long strip. 
Heat a pan with oil.Once its hot,bring it to Sim flame and drop in the rolled out Kaja's gently. Turn to the other side to cook evenly.Repeat this to entire Kaja's .
Once they are done, drain the Kaja's and drop them into sugar syrup. Gently press in so that , it soaks the sugar. Let it soak for 2 to 5 Min's, then remove and spread for it to cool.Enjoy!
