Ingredients
- Jaggery - as needed
- Hot water - 1/2 bowl
- Semolina (Sooji) - 1/2 cup
- Wheat flour - 2 cups
- Oil - 1/4 cup
- Fennel seeds - to taste
- Coconut powder - 1/2 cup (ground dry coconut)
- Remaining jaggery syrup - as required for kneading
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Jaggery Syrup
- Put jaggery in a bowl.
- Add 1/2 bowl of very hot water to it.
- Melt the jaggery completely by stirring.
- Strain the melted jaggery using a sieve to remove any pieces.
- Keep the syrup aside for later use.
Step 2: Prepare Semolina Base
- Add 1/2 cup of semolina into a bowl.
- Add about 1/2 cup of jaggery syrup to soak the semolina.
- Mix well and leave for 2 minutes to let it swell slightly.
- Grind the soaked semolina into a fine paste.
Step 3: Prepare the Dough
- Transfer ground semolina back into the bowl.
- Add 2 cups of wheat flour.
- Add 1/4 cup of oil, fennel seeds, and 1/2 cup of ground coconut.
- Mix all the ingredients well without water.
- Use the remaining jaggery syrup gradually to knead a tight dough.
- Cover and set the dough aside for some time to let it swell.
Step 4: Shape the Biscuits
- Take a portion of the dough and knead it smooth.
- Roll it out into a thick, round sheet.
- Cut into biscuit shapes using a small glass, cutter, lid, or knife.
- Collect the extra dough, roll it again, and cut more biscuits.
Step 5: Fry the Biscuits
- Heat oil on a low-medium flame (not too hot).
- Fry the biscuits in batches; bubbles should rise when added to oil.
- Fry until golden and crispy (5–6 minutes per batch).
- Remove and place in open air to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container once fully cooled.
Tips
- Do not add water while kneading; use jaggery syrup only.
- Thicker rolling helps prevent breaking.
- Frying on low-medium flame ensures inner doneness and outer crispiness.
Enjoy!
