  • 2 teaspoon ghee
  • 2 cups separate ghee for frying
  • 2 cups of water
  • 1 teaspoon cardamom powder
  • 1/2 cup grated coconut
  • 1 teaspoon fennel seeds

How to Prepare

• • In a kadai, heat 1 cup of water and add jaggery into it. The jaggery needs to be melted in order to form a syrup.
  • Once the jaggery melts completely and starts to thicken a bit, turn off the gas flame and allow it to cool down.
  • Meanwhile take the wheat flour in a large mixing vessel or bowl.
  • Add 2 teaspoons of ghee into it. Make sure the ghee isn't in the solid form.
  • Mix the flour and ghee well so that both combine well.
  • When you mix the ghee in the flour try holding the flour in your fist to check if the flour stays.
  • Add 1 teaspoon of fennel seeds along with the cardamom powder.
  • Add half a cup of grated coconut into the flour and mix everything well to form a breadcrumb like consistency.
  • Now knead the flour into a firm dough by adding water in little quantities.
  • Make sure the dough isn't too soft or too hard. It should be flexible and firm.
  • Once the dough is formed, take small portions of dough and roll them into round balls.
  • Take the thekua shaper and smear some ghee over it.
  • Press the dough balls flat on the thekua shaper and keep the pressed thekua aside.
  • Repeat the same process with the rest of the dough balls.
  • Once you have shaped all the thekuas, turn off the gas flame and heat 2 cups of ghee in a frying kadai.
  • Once the ghee gets heated on medium-high flame, deep fry the thekuas as per the capacity of the kadahi.
  • Repeat the process until all the thekuas are deep fried.
  • Serve thekuas to your guests with evening tea.
  • You can also store them for 3-4 weeks in a airtight jar.
