SHAKAR PARA, SHANKAR PALI,

When  all bloggers and websites will be busy posting the ribbon pakoda, mysore pak, thenkuzhal, boondi, mixture etc. etc.  I am posting a different item here.

Shakar para or Shankar pali is a Maharashtrian dish specially made for Diwali.   It is a semi sweet fried dish can be served as snack too along with a cup of tea or coffee.    It is made out of Maida, Powdered Sugar and ghee.

Though I am too late to post the recipe for this festival, you need not worry as it can be prepared very easily.






Now Let us see the recipe now:

Ingredients:

1/4  cup pure clarified butter (ghee)
1/4  cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup water
11/2 cup Maida (all purpose flour)
less than 1/2 tsp salt

Method:

1.  Put the water in a wide bowl.
2.  add the powdered sugar and salt
3.  dissolve the same
4.  now add the ghee
5.  slowly little by little add the maida in it and make a smooth dough out of it.
6.  make four to 5 parts of the maida and make thin puris out of it.
7.  cut it with a knife into square pieces and fry the same till golden brown in slow flame.
8.  cool it and store it in airtight container.
9.  remains more than 15 days if you have the patience to keep it in the container.
