Shakkar Para (Shankarpali)
Ingredients:
1½ cups Maida (all purpose flour)
1 tablespoon Rava (semolina), optional
2 tablespoons Ghee or Oil
1/4 cup Sugar
1/3 cup Milk or Water
A pinch of Salt
Oil, for deep frying
Directions:
Heat 1/3 cup milk until warm and pour in a bowl. We just need warm milk (not hot) to dissolve the sugar easily. Add 1/4 cup sugar in it. If you are using the sugar having large granules, grind it in the small jar of mixture grinder until powder before adding to the milk to dissolve it easily.
Stir with a spoon until sugar dissolves completely.
Add 1½ cups maida, 1 tablespoon rava, a pinch of salt and 2 tablespoons ghee or oil in the same bowl.
Mix well and bind the firm (stiff) dough. If required, add a few teaspoons of water or milk to bind the dough. Knead it for a minute. Do not bind soft dough otherwise the shakkarpare won’t turn crispy.
Divide the dough into 2 equal portions. Take one portion and give it round shape like a ball and then flatten it between your palms. Place it on a rolling board.
Roll it out into a large 8-9 inch diameter round disc having ¼ inch thickness using a rolling pin. Edges will break while rolling because of the stiff dough. When it happens, seal the edges by pressing them and roll again.
Cut it into squares or diamond shape small pieces using a sharp knife.
Transfer diamond shaped pieces to a plate. Do the same process for remaining dough.
While you are rolling the dough, heat the oil in a deep frying pan over medium flame. Check the temperature of oil by dropping a small portion of dough into the oil. If the dough comes upward immediately without changing its color then oil is ready to fry (medium hot). If it comes upward immediately and turns brown it means oil is too hot and if it takes time to come upward then oil is not hot enough to fry. When the oil is medium hot, add few diamond shaped pieces in it.
Stir them at regular intervals to evenly cook them. Keep the temperature medium-low to cook them evenly otherwise they turn brown fast and get cooked from outside but stay raw from inside. Fry them until they turn golden brown.
Remove them using a slotted spoon. Drain excess oil and transfer to a plate lined with paper napkin. Shakkarpara are ready. Let them cool at room temperature and then store in an airtight container. They stay good for 2-3 weeks at room temperature.
