How to make Karanji
For the outer covering, mix salt, flour and ghee. Gradually
add
water and knead to form firm dough. Cover with wet cloth and
set aside. For the stuffing, take sugar, milk and coconut in
a pan
and cook on gentle heat. Add cardamom powder and chopped
cashews and raisins.
Divide the dough into about 20 balls, so that you can roll
them
out like small chapattis. Place a spoonful of stuffing in
the center
and fold each in half. Twist the edges to form a pattern.
You can
use a mould to get attractive shapes. Deep fry the karanjis
for
about 2 minutes in hot oil till golden brown.
