Chiroti

Ingredients:

 
Maida – 3 cups
Chiroti Rava / Sooji – 1 cup 
Sugar – 1 1/2 cups, coarsely powdered
Raw Rice Flour – 1 cup
Salt – a large pinch
Ghee – 1 cup
Oil (or Vanaspati) as required
 

Preparation :

 
Mix maida, rava, salt, 1/3 cup of ghee and little cold water in a bowl to a stiff dough.
Cover with a wet cloth and keep separately for 30 to 40 minutes.
Knead once again and make small balls of the dough.
Roll them out into small or medium size chapatis.
To the remaining ghee, add rice flour and mix well.
Spread 1/2 tblsp of this ghee-rice flour mixture on the prepared chapatis.
Keep 4 to 5 of the chapatis one top of the other and roll them tightly, like a cylinder.
Cut them into 1 inch pieces.
Heat oil in a deep frying pan.
Deep fry the pieces until light golden brown.
Remove and drain excess oil.
Sprinkle sugar on top and serve
 

Note: If chiroti rava is not available, you can use plain rava or add 1/2 to 1 cup of maida more.
