This recipe is made for Christmas using maida and sugar

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Maida

  • 2 tablespoons Rawa

  • 1 cup Sugar

  • 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar

  • Cooking Soda – a pinch

  • Salt – a pinch

  • Cardamom Powder – one or two pinches

  • 2 teaspoon Butter or Ghee – 2 teaspoon

  • 1/2 cup Warm Milk – as required to knead the flour

  • Oil for deep frying

Directions

  • Mix maida, rawa, powdered sugar, butter, cooking soda and a pinch of salt. Add warm milk little by little and make a soft dough. Keep it aside for at least half-an-hour. Make into lemon size balls and roll out to a very thin large chapattis. Cut it into desired shape using cookie cutter or cut it into small diamond or square shape strips using sharp knife. I cut it into small rounds using a water bottle cap.
  • Heat oil in a kadai. When it is hot, take out gently few maida pieces and put it in the oil. Fry till it is crisp. Finish frying the pieces in batches.
  • In a thick bottomed vessel put the sugar and add just enough water to cover the sugar. Bring it to boil and allow to boil till it reaches one string consistency. Add cardamom powder and stir well. Switch off the stove. Add fried thukkadas and mix well so that the sugar syrup coats well in all the thukkadas. Spread it in a plate and allow to cool. After few minutes, sugar crystalize on the thukkadas. Separate each piece and store it in an air-tight container.
