First, put on your prettiest apron and flash your sweetest smile because you are all set to create a marvellous delight in your kitchen that you and your family are going to love!
-
2
Now let's start off-- To prepare the dough, boil water in a large pot.
-
3
Once it boils, lower flame and allow it to simmer.
-
4
Take a bowl and mix semolina and sugar in it.
-
5
Add it to the boiling water alongwith salt to taste.
-
6
Stir it continuously (this is VERY IMPORTANT) as you add it and cook it until it becomes a thick mixture.
-
7
Remove from flame.
-
8
Allow it to cool.
-
9
Knead the dough now to make it a little softer.
-
10
Now start preparing the stuffing.
-
11
To do so, take a large mixing bowl and in it mix together the freshly grated coconut, sugar and the cardamom powder.
-
12
Heat this mixture on medium flame.
-
13
Stir it continuously and cook until the mixture dries.
-
14
Allow it to cool.
-
15
Prepare balls out of the dough you had prepared earlier.
-
16
Take a drop or two of ghee and apply it on your palms.
-
17
Now carefully flatten each ball on your palm, or rather, in between your palms.
-
18
Carefully, make a small non-pierced hole in the centre of each ball.
-
19
Place a little stuffing on it and close the hole.
-
20
Shape all balls likewise like flattened round cutlets.
-
21
Heat ghee in a wok on high flame.
-
22
Carefully, lower the semolina delights in the ghee and deep fry them on medium flame till they turn golden brown on either side.
-
23
Remove onto clean paper towels to allow the excess oil to drain out.
-
24
Now comes the part I love best- Garnish each delight with half a cashewnut for the mouth and red half cherries for 2 eyes!
-
25
Ain't that pretty, eh!
-
26
Eat'em, burp and smile with delight!
