In time for Diwali this super easy and ever popular snack. We had it often - not just during Diwali when we were growing up...sometimes sweet and sometimes the savoury variety (recipe to follow).
1 cup milk
1 cup ghee
1 1/4 cup sugar
5 cups All Purpose flour (approx)
Flour for dusting
ghee for deep frying
pinch of salt.
heat together - milk, sugar and ghee - till the sugar completely dissolves in the milk. Pour this mixture into a large bowl add a pinch of salt and slowly add the flour incorporating it into the liquid. Keep adding flour till it forms a soft dough. It usually takes about 5 cups of flour- but maybe more or less depending on how warm your milk is, or how humid it is that day.
Heat ghee for deep frying.
Roll out the dough onto the counter - medium thickness - and cut into squares. Deep fry the squares -on moderate heat - till golden brown.
This snack really doesn't take too much time or effort to prepare. Just make sure you fry the shankarpalis on moderate heat or the outside will be brown before the inside cooks through.
Happy Diwali.
