Shankarpali
Crisp Sweet Diamonds
The classic festive fried snack, made with less ghee and 5 g of Power Sprinkle kneaded into the dough.
Ingredients
- 100 g maida
- 5 g Power Sprinkle
- 25 g sugar
- 15 g ghee (for the moyan)
- 50 ml milk
- Oil for frying
Method
- Warm the milk with the sugar and ghee, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Let it cool to lukewarm.
- Mix the maida and Power Sprinkle thoroughly so the powder is evenly spread.
- Pour in the lukewarm milk mixture and knead to a stiff, smooth dough. Cover and rest for 15 minutes.
- Roll the dough out to about 4 mm thick and cut into small diamonds.
- Heat the oil to 150–160°C, on the lower side of frying temperatures. A scrap of dough should rise slowly and steadily, not sizzle fiercely.
- Fry in small batches on a low-to-medium flame until pale golden, turning once. Do not let them darken.
- Drain well and cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
