Preparation Steps
- In a bowl, add all-purpose flour, salt, ghee and baking soda. Mix the contents well.
- Add water little by little and knead it into a soft dough. It should be similar to the consistency of chapati dough.
- Divide it into equal-sized small balls.
- Flatten each of them separately on the Gavvalu mold and roll it one fold like a finger size.
- Repeat the same for the remaining balls and keep them aside.
- Heat a pan with oil for deep fry and fry these pieces until they turn light brown.
- Transfer the fried pieces and place them on a strainer or tissue cloth to remove the excess oil.
- Meanwhile, heat a saucepan with jaggery and water to melt it into a syrup.
- Transfer the syrup to a fresh pan using a filter to remove impurities.
- Let it boil and add a teaspoon of cardamom powder and stir well.
- Wait until it attains soft ball consistency.
- To check, take a small bowl with water and add a few drops of jaggery syrup to it.
- If it is easy to take and roll then the consistency is perfect.
- Switch off the flame and add the fried pieces to it.
- Let it soak for a few minutes and Gavvalu is ready to eat.
- If stored in an airtight container, it can stay fresh for a week.
