Ingredients
1 pound rice flour
1 pound wheat semolina
½ pound sugar molasses (or jaggery, if you can find it)
Vegetable oil for frying
Directions
- Bring 2 ½ cups of water to a boil. Add molasses or jaggery and stir until it melts and the liquid becomes brownish.
- Add rice flour and mix well. Add semolina and continue mixing. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- When mixture is cool enough to handle comfortably, remove a small portion of the dough (about the size of a lemon). Place it on a clean surface and pat on it until it becomes a circle of about 3 inches diameter.
- Heat the oil in a deep pan. Transfer the Ghari (dough) to the hot oil and fry on both sides over medium heat until light brown.
- Remove the fried Ghari on to a thick paper towel placed on serving dish, to blot excess oil.
