Have been doing this since past three years. Have been doing a lot of sweets during this Shravana maasa for all Fridays. Made with chickpea flour in one thread consistency of sugar syrup,it's a delicacy made for all weddings too.
As the name suggests it is one of the well known South Indian dessert. I have added 1/2 of ghee and 1/2 of oil,but adding completely ghee also gives this sweet a good taste and might make it a little heavy too.
Ingredients,
Chick pea flour( besan) - 1 cup
Ghee and oil - 1/2 cup each
Sugar - 1 1/2 cups (if you like not to be too sweet add only 1 cup of sugar)
Water - 1 3/4 cups
- Take water and sugar in a pan and heat ,bring it to boil till you get 1 thread consistency.
- Heat oil and ghee in a pot ,slowly add 2 tbsps of this to the chick pea flour.Turn off the heat.
- Mix the flour well and sieve it to have no lumps.
- Grease a pan with ghee .
- Heat ghee and oil ,so that its hot when the sugar syrup is reached 1 thread consistency.
- Add hot ghee, oil to the sugar syrup and slowly add the chick pea flour and mix well.
- Keep stirring until the oil keeps coming out and the whole mixture starts coming together.
- Pour this to the greased pan and spread it across with a spatula .
- Wait for a minute and then cut this across ,when it is still warm with a knife.
- Take out the pieces when it is cooled .
