Combine all-purpose flour, rice flour, sugar, salt, and cardamom powder in a mixing bowl.
Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly using a spoon or whisk.
Gradually add water in small amounts, stirring continuously to form a tight, thick batter.
Cover the bowl and let the batter rest for 3 to 4 hours, stirring once or twice during this period.
After resting, stir in a splash of fresh water until the batter reaches a smooth, creamy, medium-thin consistency.
Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat.
Submerge the rose cookie mold completely in the hot oil to heat it up.
Lift the hot mold out of the oil, allow excess oil to drip off, and dip it into the batter.
Dip the mold 3/4 of the way into the batter, then transfer it into the hot oil.
Hold the mold submerged for 5 seconds, then gently shake or tap the handle to release the batter.
Keep the empty mold immersed in the hot oil while the cookie fries.
Fry the cookie on medium heat, flipping it once or twice until both sides turn a light golden brown.
Lift the cookie out using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Clear away any stray floating batter bits from the oil regularly.
Stir the batter before dipping the hot mold for each subsequent cookie.
Allow the rose cookies to cool completely at room temperature.
