Ingredients

1 cup water
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup ghee
Around 2-3 cups maida
Oil for deep frying

Instructions

In a pan, boil the water, sugar and ghee together, till the sugar melts.
Let this cool down. Adding as much maida as is needed, use this entire liquid to make a loose dough. It shouldn't be too hard, nor too loose.
Keep it covered for around 1 hour.
Roll out thickish rotis from the dough.
Cut into whatever shape you want.
Heat oil in a kadhai and fry the shankarpali in batches on a medium flame, taking care to turn them over so that they don't burn. See that they are an even golden from both sides.
Drain on a kitchen tissue. After they have cooled down, transfer to an airtight container.

Servings : around 400 gms of shankarpali approx.
Ready in : 50 Minutes
Course : Dessert
Recipe Type : Sweets/ Desserts / Cakes
