METHOD TO MAKE KARANJI

Take one ball of the dough and roll it into a thin poori size circle [ 5 inch diameter], put  2 or 3 tsp of the stuffing in the center.

Apply milk around the corners .

Bring one end over the other end to make semi circle.

Press and it seal it with your finger tips.

Press it with a fork for pattern or use a karanji cutter for a curvy edge or twist the edges with fingers.

Repeat the same with all the dough and cover it with a moist cloth.

Heat oil in a deep pan once it becomes hot lower the flame to medium.

Slide in  2 or 3 at a time. [medium flame]

It will puff up like poori, slowly keep tossing  hot oil on the top surface like we do with poori. All the layers will open up.

Flip on the other side and cook till light golden colour and crisp .

Remove on a absorbent paper.

Once it cools , store it in a air tight container.

NOTES

  2. The flame should not be very high it will burn the karanji and very low ,it has to be medium.
