Shakarpara

A traditional tea-time snack often made during festive occasions, Shakarpara is – much to the joy of amateurs – also very easy to make! While there are several ways of making this mildly-sweet snack, this recipe is one of the easiest to follow. Never add the sugar directly to the dough without dissolving it first, or you will end up with a soggy dough and chewy Shakarpara ! Also remember to fry them over a slow flame so that the insides get properly cooked.

Preparation Time: 2 minutes.
Cooking Time: 20 minutes.
Makes 2½ cups.

¼ cup sugar
¼ cup milk
2 tbsp ghee
1½ cups whole wheat flour (gehun ka atta)
A pinch of salt
Ghee for deep-frying

1. Combine the milk, sugar and ghee in a deep non-stick pan, mix well and cook on a medium flame for 2 minutes or till the sugar dissolves, while stirring occasionally. Keep aside to cool.
2. Sieve the whole wheat flour and salt together in a deep bowl with the help of a strainer.
3. Add the milk-sugar mixture, a little at a time and knead into a firm dough.
4. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions.
5. Roll out a portion into 175 mm. (7”) diameter circle.
6. Cut it into 25 mm. (1") diamond shaped pieces and prick each diamond with a fork.
7. Heat the ghee in a deep non-stick kadai and deep-fry the shakarparas, a few at a time on a slow flame, till they are golden brown in colour from both the sides. Drain on an absorbent paper.
8. Repeat steps 5 to 7 to make more shakarparas in 3 more batches.
Cool completely and store in an air-tight container.
