I tried this recipe for the first time during this last Sri Jayanthi, with mom on the phone. It came out really well and was well liked by all (including my little Ameya)
Ingredients
- Sugar 3 Cups + a tbsp of sugar
- Olive Oil 1 Cups
- Water 1 Cup
- Chick Pea Flour - 1 Cup
- Dessicated Coconut or Rava - 1 Cup
- Ghee - 2 Teaspoons
- A large Well greased plate and a Knife
- I used 2.5 cups + 1 Tbsp Sugar instead of 3 cups
- I used a little under 1 cup of olive oil and added 2 tea-spoons of ghee
In a large sauce pan add the sugar and the water. Once the sugar start boiling (more like bubbling) slowly and carefully add the chick-pea flour. Stir constantly to avoid lumps. Add the dessicated coconut/rava and cook for ~10 while constantly stirring. The chickpea flour should lose its raw smell and start smelling toasty. hmmm hmmm hmmm toasty!!! now add the oil to the mix. Stir away! The mix will start to tighten-up after absorbing all the oil. Keep stirring. The 7 cup mix will suddenly start to loosen up into a rolling boil. At this point it would stop sticking to the sides. Pour the mix into a large well greased plate. The mix will start tightening up almost immediately. Sprinkle some sugar on top and cut into small pieces.
I will try and post some pictures for the intermediate states while i make this recipe again for a friends baby shower!
