Karchikayi / Gilganchi

My mom is the one who used to do this during Durgashtami of Dashera festivals.Now a days I have also started doing this.Along with these chakli is also made.This time around I Coudn't do chakli ,so I made kodubale along with these karchikai.
Karchikai is made from all purpose flour and sooji with sweet fillings.These are the no fuss to make sweets.


Ingredients,
All purpose flour - 1 cup
Sooji -3 tbsps
Ghee (clarified butter) - 1 teapoon
Warm milk - enough to knead into dough

For fillings,
Roasted Chana dal flour - 1/4 cup
Grated dry coconut - 1/4 cup
Sugar - 1/4 cup
Cardamom -4-5 ( only seeds to be powdered)

Add sooji to the all purpose flour and add warm milk and knead it well into dough.
Keep this in a covered bowl for about half an hour.
Slightly roast the dry coconut in a pan.
Add it to the roasted Chana dal flour,sugar and cardamom.Mix well.
After half an hour take the dough and divide it into 13 -14 small parts.Roll them into round shapes.
Take each of the ball and roll into a small circle ,add 2 teaspoons of the filling in the middle and apply water around the edges.
Fold it into a semicircle and press with your finger around the edges.
Press the edges with a fork to make patterns.
Take oil in a pan and heat it,once the oil is hot keep it in flame in between low and medium and fry them( this is done to make them crispier).


Take 3 tablespoons of sooji and add it to allpurpose flour.

Add a teaspoon of ghee and mix with warm milk .
Store it covered in a bowl for 1/2 an hour.


Roast the grated dry coconut.
