Directions
In a bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, the salt and the semolina.
Melt the butter or ghee. Then add it to the dry ingredients and mix well with a spoon. You should get a consistency similar to breadcrumbs.
Add the milk and mix well.
Add the sugar and mix well.
Knead the mixture to make a smooth and stiff dough. You can add more milk.
Cover with a lid or cotton paper towel and let stand for 15 minutes.
Form small balls of dough of the desired size. Grease your hands with a little oil so that the dough doesn't stick to your palms.
Heat the oil in a wok . Check that a small piece of dough is well soaked in the oil. If it gradually rises to the surface, the oil is hot.
Reduce the heat and fry the khajuri . When one side is golden brown, gently turn it over and fry the other side. Fry until crisp and golden brown.
Once ready, place them on absorbent paper to drain.
Ready! Enjoy! Serve thekua as a teatime snack with masala tea or butter tea.
