Sweet Puffs
Ingredients
- Maida – 1 kg
- Butter/oil – 1/3 cup (at room temperature to be added to the flour)
- Salt – ½ tsp
- Oil for deep frying
For filling
- Raisins – 100 g
- Cashew nuts – 100 g
- Rava – 100 g
- Tutti-frutti – 100 g
- Coconut (dry) – 2 halves (grated)
- Kush-kush (poppy seeds) – 50 g
- Vanilla essence – 2 tsp or Cardamom powder – 1 tsp
Instructions
- Sift the flour with salt and mix in the butter/oil. Knead it into pliable dough.
- Keep aside covered with a cloth till the filling is ready.
- Dice the cashew nuts and mix all the other ingredients for the filling thoroughly and keep aside.
- Roll a big size chapatti from a medium size ball of dough.
- With the help of a round lid, cut out as many circles from the chapatti.
- Slightly wet the sides of the circles with a little water (in order to stick and not open out in the oil while frying).
- In the middle of this circle add 1 Tbs of the filling.
- Form this into a puff by folding into half and allowing the sides to meet by pressing gently. Make as many puffs in this way and keep aside.
- Now, heat oil in a heavy bottom vessel and deep fry the puffs to a golden brown.
- Place on a paper or open container to cool before storing.
