Tukdi

Tukdi/shankarpali/Shankarapara

Our family favorite snacking item is this tukdi which mom prepares instantly and this recipe never fails. This snack can be made within 30min and according to me is one of the easiest as it requires minimum ingredients. There are many variations possible. I will be sharing the spicy version. A sweet version can also be prepared. Tukdi can be enjoyed as it is as evening snack with tea or can be a accomplishment with upma etc.

Ingredients required –

  1. Maida – 1cup
  2. Chilly powder – 2-3tsp(depending on spiciness requested)
  3. Salt- to taste
  4. Sugar – 1/2tsp
  5. Oil – 2-3 tsp
  6. Oil – for deep frying
  7. Water

Method of preparation –

  • In a bowl take maida, chilly powder, salt and sugar
  • Add water to prepare a dough similar to chapati dough
  • Kneed it well
  • Heat 2-3tsp oil,preferably Coconut oil and add to the dough, this makes it crispy
  • Kneed well again
  • Roll it like chapati and cut into diamond shape
  • Deep fry in oil till crispy

Note-

1/2tsp of baking soda can be added to make it crispy and fluffy but we do not prefer adding it.
