This are Ganesh chaturthi days,so a lot of snacks are made for chaturthi. I will be posting some of the snacks recipes which are made at our place.Preparation is done some days before only for it.This snack is called 'phenori' in konkani and chirroti in marathi. Its a famous festival snack.Its a snack made of flour dipped in sugar syrup.
INGREDIENTS:
3 cups maida(all purpose flour)
1/2 cup rice flour
3 table spoon corn flour
2 cups sugar
2 table spoon thick cream
saffron food colour
ghee
salt
METHOD:
Take a bowl and add maida, rice flour, cornflour and little salt. Mix it well. Now mix the saffron food colour in water.Add some hot ghee and cream to the flour mixture and kned it well with the saffon water.This dough should be kneded very well or else they do not become crispy.
Keep this dough wrapped in wet muslin cloth for 1-2 hours.
Make balls on this dough. Roll big size rotis from this balls. Make atleast four rotis.Cover them in wet muslin cloth after rolling so that they do not become hard.
Now take one roti and apply ghee on it all over. Sprinkle some rice flour over it. Keep the second roti exactly over it. Apply ghee and rice flour same as the first roti. Repeat the same and stack the remaining rotis on this two.Four roits should be stacked one above the other with ghee n rice flour in between.
Now roll this rotis in cylindrical roll. The roll should be fully packed, no gaps should be left in between.Now cut the roll in small pieces with 1 inch thickness.
Now roll the cut roll pieces one by one in round shape.Roll on the cut side. Do not apply much pressure. Do not make it thin. The texture on the roll should not be spoiled.
Sugar syrup need to be made. Take a vessel and and add 2 cups water to it. Mix sugar in it. Let the mixture boil and thicken. It should become thick syrup. Take a drop of it in between two fingers and pull it, it should form a thread then the mixture is done.
Heat ghee in a kadai.Deep fry the rolled phenoris in it till crisp. Remove them from oil and immeidiately deep in sugar syrup fully so that it gets coated on it.Remove them from syrup and keep them vertical in a dish. Repeat the same with the others.
Phenoris are ready. Let them cool for some time. Then store them in a air tight container.They remain fresh for 15-20 days.
