Khajoor - A Sweet Snack :
"Khajoor" refers to a sweet and crispy deep-fried snack, which is similar to Thekua but might have some variations in ingredients and preparation.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (maida)
- 1/2 cup grated jaggery or sugar (adjust as per your preference)
- 2 tablespoons semolina (sooji)
- Dry fruits and coconut powder
- A pinch of baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder
- 1/4 cup milk (approximately)
- Ghee or oil (for deep frying)
Instructions:
-
In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, grated jaggery (or sugar), semolina, dry fruits and coconut powder, cardamom powder, and baking soda.
-
Gradually add milk to the mixture and knead it into a stiff dough. The dough should not be too soft.
-
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 15-20 minutes.
-
Heat ghee or oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
-
Take a small portion of the dough and roll it into a thin disc or any desired shape. You can use a rolling pin and some dry flour to roll the dough.
-
Carefully slide the rolled Khajoor into the hot ghee or oil and fry it until it turns golden brown and becomes crispy.
-
Remove the fried Khajoor from the oil and place it on paper towels to remove excess oil.
-
Repeat the process with the remaining dough.
-
Allow the Khajoor to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.
