Ingredients
The following are the ingredients needed to prepare around 2-3 cups of Shankarpali,
- Maida / all purpose flour - 1 cup. If wheat is preferred then half a cup of wheat flour and half a cup of maida.
- Sugar - 1/2 cup
- Cooking soda - a pinch (optional)
- Cardamom powder - a pinch
- Salt - a pinch
- Ghee - 1 tablespoon
- Water as required for dough
- Oil for deep fry
Preparation Steps
For preparing the dough:
- In a large bowl add flour, a pinch of salt, baking soda,Sugar and cardamom powder. Mix the contents after adding ghee.
- Add water little by little and knead it into a semi soft ball.
- Grease the dough with one teaspoon of oil, close it with a lid and let it rest for ten minutes.
For frying:
- Take a heavy bottomed pan, add oil as required for deep frying and let it heat at low to medium flame.
- Divide the prepared dough into equal sized medium balls.
- Take one of those balls and flatten it into a slightly thick sheet. Keep dusting them with flour as you flatten so that the dough won't stick to the surface.
- Once the sheet is ready, cut them into small diamond shapes using a pizza cutter or knife. For diamond shape, first cut straight lines then diagonal lines.
- Transfer these pieces to a plate.
- Check whether the oil is hot enough and add these pieces.
- Let it fry and give it a mix to cook evenly.
- Once it starts turning brown and the crispness is visible take them out. Place it on a strainer or tissue paper to remove excess oil.
- Repeat the process for remaining balls. You can fry them batch by batch.
