SHANKARPALLI RECIPE | SWEET VERSION

Shankarpalli recipe i tried during Diwali , but due to lot of posts which i posted during diwali time, i couldn’t post this recipe of shankarpalli. So i am posting this finally for Christmas.Though i wanted to bake something couldn’t do , as i was running out of time. I adapted the recipe from here but i followed  my own way of making it. Wish all my readers a Merry Christmas and will see you all soon with interesting recipes.

INGREDIENTS:(yields approx 1 and 1/2 cups)

MAIDA | ALL PURPOSE FLOUR	1 CUP
RAVA | SEMOLINA| SOOJI	1/4 CUP
GHEE(MELTED)|CLARIFIED BUTTER	1/4 CUP
SUGAR	1/4 CUP
OIL	TO DEEP FRY
SALT	A PINCH
WATER	TO KNEAD THE DOUGH

METHOD:

• Powder the sugar in a mixer.
• In a wide bowl add the maida, rava,powdered sugar , ghee and salt. Knead it into a stiff dough . You can add little water while kneading.

• Cover this and keep it aside for 1/2 an hour.
• After 1/2 an hour, take out a small ball of dough and roll it into a thick circle.
• Shankarpallis should be slightly thick.
• Using a pizza cutter or a knife cut it into diamonds.

• Heat oil in a kadai for deep frying.
• Fry these diamonds in a medium low flame till they become golden brown.

• Be careful as they become burnt soon.
• Repeat this for the rest of the dough. Drain the fried one in a kitchen towel and after some time store this in a airtight container.

Note:

1. You can make syrup with sugar and add it to the flour mix instead of adding water.
2. Fry in medium low flame. Be careful while frying as this will get burnt fast.
