Shakkarpara

It is a maida biscuit which is sweet in taste. It is a tea time snack, very easy to make and liked by all, especially children. Find its recipe below. Instead of sugar, you can also add salt+red chilly powder+carom seeds(ajwain) and bit asafoetida (hing) and can make salty biscuits.
If you buy the rasagulla/gulab jamun canned sweet boxes and if the sugar syrup remains, instead of throwing it away you can use it to make these tasty biscuits.

 

  

 

Ingredients:

Maida/all purpose flour: 2 to 2.5 tumbler (1 tumbler =~ 200 ml)
Sugar : 1 tumbler
Ghee : 4 tbsp
Baking Soda: pinch


Method:

1. Take maida in a big bowl, add pinch of baking soda, then add melted ghee. Mix well.
Note : the ghee should be mildly warm, not hot while mixing.
2. Add melted/powdered sugar and mix very very well.
Note: Heat a pan and add sugar into it, and add one ladle of water, stir and soon sugar will melt. Once melted switch off and let it cool or let it become slight warm from very hot. Then mix it with maida. Else you can also powder the sugar in a grinder and add to maida.
3. Knead the maida into chappathi dough consistency (neither loose nor tight). Sprinkle bit water if required while kneading.
4. Divide the dough into small partitions. Take one and roll it flat and cut it into square/diamond shapes.
5. Heat oil in a pan and fry them till golden in colour.
