Preparation:
Time required: 35 minutes plus time for resting the dough
To prepare the filling: Pass the mawa through a sieve. Add the grated coconut, powdered sugar, poppy seeds and raisins, if using them. Mix well and keep aside.
To prepare the dough: Mix flour and rawa. Rub 30 g. ghee into the flour-rawa mixture. Add salt and milk-water mixture to bind to a stiff dough. Cover and set aside for half an hour.
Divide the dough into small portions. Apply a little ghee and knead each dough ball well till smooth. Roll into puris, about eight cm. in diameter. Put a little filling in the center and fold over to form a half circle. Seal the edges with a little water. Flute the edges. Deep fry in hot oil till light brown and crisp. Drain and store in an airtight container. |
