Instructions
 

Prepare the Dough:

  • In a blender jar, add fine sooji, sugar, and green cardamom seeds (optional) and grind it to a fine flour.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, sooji flour, and ghee.
  • Mix these dry ingredients until the mixture resembles sand-like texture. When you hold the mixture in your fist, it should hold its shape and not crumble.

Knead the Dough:

  • Gradually add water, a little at a time, and knead the mixture into a stiff and smooth dough.

Rest the Dough:

  • Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 15-20 minutes. This resting period allows the sooji to absorb moisture and the dough to become more pliable.

Roll and Cut:

  • After resting, roll out the dough into a thin sheet, about ⅛ inch in thickness.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the rolled dough into small diamond or square-shaped pieces.

Fry the Shakar Para:

  • Heat oil in a cast iron skillet or wok over medium heat.
  • Once the oil is hot, carefully add the cut shakar para pieces in batches.
  • Fry them until they turn golden brown and crispy. Stir occasionally for even cooking.
  • Remove the fried shakar para using a slotted spoon and place them in a strainer basket to drain excess oil and prevent them from becoming soggy.

Cool and Store:

  • Allow the fried shakar para to cool completely.
  • Once cooled, store them in an airtight container. They can be stored for several weeks.
  • These shakar para have a delightful blend of whole wheat, semolina, and cardamom flavors, along with a touch of sweetness from the powdered sugar. They make for a wonderful snack during festivals or special occasions and pair well with a cup of tea or coffee.
