Shakkarpara

This is an amazing snack.So amazing that it just melts in your mouth. I found this recipe in www.madhurasrecipe.com.  Without saying much let me give you the recipe right away.

Ingredients:

1. 1/4th cup ghee
2. 1/4th cup milk
3. 1/4th cup sugar
4. Approximately 1 1/2 cup of all purpose flour
5. Pinch of salt
6. 1 tsp sooji

Oil for deep frying

Method:

• Take the milk and ghee in a microwave safe bowl and heat for a minute.
• Add the sugar and stir well.
• Once the mixture has cooled a bit, start adding the flour little by little and start kneading it into a dough.Also add the sooji and salt at this time. The quantity of the flour is approximate.You might need  a bit more or less.The dough should be soft yet not very loose.
• Now cover and keep this dough aside for 30 minutes.
• Make balls from the dough and  roll them out like thick parathas.
• If you want you can cut off the crooked edges. I dont do that  because they taste good anyways:) 
• Cut them in to desided shapes and fry them . Remember not to keep the heat in high. Once the oil is hot, cook these in low-medium heat.
• Fry them till they are golden brown in color and remove them from oil and drain off the excess oil in a paper towel.
• Once cooled, store them in an air tight container or ziploc bag.

Note:

• You can reduce the amount of ghee but the it wont taste the same. I usually make this for diwali, hence during festival time i do not like to compromise on taste. But again the choice is yours.
• If you do not have ghee, you can use melted butter.
