Shakarpara

This is one of the few traditional Indian sweets that I always manage to get right. Once upon a time, I used to make it at festival times, but now that I do enter the kitchen a couple of times a week, I make it more often.

2 cups Wheat flour
1/2 cup Milk
1 tbsp Sugar
2 tbsp Ghee
Salt to taste

Mix the flour and salt, keep aside.
Heat the milk, and dissolve the sugar in it. Allow to cook, then add it to the dough and mix well.
Add ghee, and knead the dough till soft.
Make balls from the dough, roll and cut diamond pieces from the circle.
Keep aside the diamond pieces for 15 mins.
Deep fry on medium heat till brown.
Drain oil in paper towel and allow to cool completely before storing.

You can also add white til seeds to the dough if you like the taste.
