Ingredients

The following ingredients have 15 Servings
  • All-purpose flour (Maida) - 2 cups
  • Rawa (Sooji) - 1 cup (unroasted)
  • Sugar - 1 cup
  • Egg - 1
  • Baking powder - 1.5 tsp
  • Turmeric powder (optional) - 1 tsp (for colour)
  • Cardamom - few (crushed)
  • Milk (boiled and cooled) - required amount

Instruction

  • First beat the egg in a bowl, mix sugar and baking powder with it.
  • Then add the maida little by little and mix without any lumps. Add milk if required, but the dough should not be watery.
  • Then add the sooji little by little and mix it. Add milk if required.
  • Mix the crushed cardamon and turmeric powder. This turmeric powder gives a light yellow colour and a different taste.
  • Finally the consistency of the dough should be like we can make balls out of it. It should not be so tight like chapathi dough, but little looser than that.
  • Leave the dough covered for an hour.
  • When you are ready to fry, heat oil in a kadai. Form 14 to 15 balls out of the prepared dough.
  • Fry it in hot oil over low flame. The cakes will start cracking as it gets fried. Fry till it gets a beautiful golden colour on the outside.
  • Drain excess oil using a sieve or paper towel.
