Shakarpara is a popular sweet snack in Maharashtra & Gujarat. The only dish of Maharashtra I learnt so far since we have shifted to Mumbai. As people say this is generally made during the festivals like Diwali. But why to wait for Diwali to come when it comes to food and with ingredients available all the time and season at home. I made these shakarpara today evening when I found all my snacks containers empty at home. So I quickly decided to make this sweet snack before the hubby landed at home from office and have with his cup of tea. Serve this as evening snacks to your kids as this snack is rich in carbohydrates which is an instant source of energy. Yes it does look like the same as our kata neemki
Ingredients:
White Flour/Maida: 1 cup
Semolina (Rava): 1/2 cup
Ghee: 2 tbsp.
Powdered sugar: 1/2 cup
Pinch of salt
Oil for frying
water as required to make sugar syrup
Method:
In a saucepan, add sugar and water and make a thin syrup.
In another bowl, add maida, semolina, salt, ghee. Now with the sugar syrup made , knead into a soft dough. Cover the dough and keep aside to rest for about 10-15 minutes.
After 10-15 minutes, make small balls of the dough like we take to make rotis. Roll these balls into thin roti. Cut the roti into diamond shapes with the help of a knife. Do the same for the rest of the balls.
Now heat oil in a deep bottomed pan. Deep fry these pieces till golden brown and keep in tissue paper to strain the extra oil. Fry all the Shakarparas and keep them to cool. Once cool these become crispy and crunchy. Store them in air-tight container and enjoy this sweet snack with your evening tea and serve your kids with their hot glass of milk.
