Ingredients
For Puri
- 2 cup All purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Soda
- 1 tsp oil
- 1 tsp Yogurt
- Cooking oil (adjustable) - for frying
For Halwa
- 3 tsp Ghee
- 1 cup Semolina (Suji)
- 2 cup water
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 4 cardamom
- 1/3 tsp Kewra essence (for aromatic taste)
Instructions
For Puri
- In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, salt, soda, yogurt, and oil. Gradually add water to form a stiff dough.
- Cover the dough with a wet cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes at room temperature.
- Divide the dough into small portions, roll each into a smooth ball, and flatten it with your palms.
- Use a rolling pin to roll each ball into small discs. Cover them with a towel to prevent drying.
- Heat oil in a pan and fry the puris until they puff and turn golden, flipping once. Drain on a paper towel.
For Halwa
- First we will make a sweetner. For this simmer two cups of water in a pot, then add sugar and cardamom. Stir until it reaches a porridge-like consistency, then set aside.
- Heat ghee in a pan and roast semolina (suji) on low flame, stirring continuously until it turns brown and separates from the ghee.
- Add the prepared sweetener, kewra essence, and food color. Stir for 8-10 minutes until the mixture becomes gooey, and the halwa is ready.
