Thekua

Cooking Instructions
- 1
To start with, we will melt grated Jaggery in water. Put 1/2 Cup water in a pan and heat the water. Add grated Jaggery in water and allow it to melt completely. If you are using Sugar, allow it to melt completely similarly.
- 2
After 1-1/2 mins, Jaggery has completely melted. Remove from heat. Allow it to cool down completely.
- 3
In a mixing bowl add wheat flour, chopped dry Coconut, fennel seeds and cardamom powder. Now mix the ingredients with your palms.
- 4
Add 2-tbsp lukewarm melted Ghee. Put Ghee and mix it well. Rub the flour between your palms. We will use jaggery water when it comes down to room temperature. Texture of wheat flour must be like a bread crumbs.
- 5
Now add jaggery water gradually and knead into a firm dough.It has some cracks on the surface. Dough must not be too soft. Rest the dough for 10 mins.
- 6
After 10 mins, now make lemon sized balls. Apply some Ghee on palms. Now shape the dough into round balls. Press into flat discs. Usually, you can use Thekua molds to shape Thekuas. However, I do not have one now. Thekua must be a bit thicker. If it is too thin, it may get burnt while frying. We will use a fork for shaping the Thekuas.
- 7
Heat oil in a frying pan.
Reduce the heat and put Thekuas in Oil for frying. Thekuas must be fried on low -medium heat. Wait for a minute before changing sides. After a min change sides. - 8
We have deep fried Thekuas for 5 mins. Thekuas are evenly browned and well cooked. Remove from Oil.
- 9
Allow the Thekuas to cool down completely before serving.

Thekuas are now ready. Known with different names like Khajur, Khajuriya and Khasta, these Thekuas taste delicious.
