Ingredients

• 500G Ghee, 500G
• 450G Heera Jaggery Unrefined 450g
• - Natco Cardamom Powder
• 1.5 Kg Bacheldre Organic Stoneground Strong Wholemeal Flour, 1.5Kg

Instructions

1. 1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of wholemeal flour, 1/4 cup of semolina (optional for extra crispiness), and 1/4 cup of grated palm sugar.
2. 2. Add 1/4 tsp of cardamom powder and mix well to ensure the palm sugar is evenly distributed.
3. 3. Heat 2 tbsp of ghee until melted and pour it into the flour mixture. Rub the ghee into the flour using your fingertips until it resembles a coarse crumbly texture.
4. 4. Gradually add 2-3 tbsp of water or milk (as needed) and knead into a firm but pliable dough. Cover and let it rest for 15 minutes.
5. 5. Divide the dough into small portions and shape them into smooth balls. Flatten each ball slightly and use a wooden mold or a fork to create patterns on the surface, if desired.
6. 6. Heat oil or ghee in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, reduce the flame to low-medium and carefully add the prepared thekua pieces.
7. 7. Fry the thekua in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Turn occasionally and cook them evenly until they are golden brown on both sides.
8. 8. Remove the thekua with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Allow them to cool completely before serving or storing.
