PHENORI (SWEET PURIS)

Ingredients:

2 cups maida

200 gm of dalda or ghee

3/4 cup of powdered sugar

4-5 cardamom

2 teaspoon corn flour

1 cup water

Method:

Heat 1 tablespoon dalda and rub it into the maida. Add sufficient water to make a soft dough. Roll out into thin chapattis. Brush dalda on one chapatti and sprinkle some corn flour. Take another chapatti and keep it on the first one and spread dalda over it and sprinkle some corn flour. In this manner, make a thick sandwich of four to five chapattis. You start folding it from one end and fold it into a tight roll. Now cut the roll into thin slices. Roll the slices into small puris.

Heat rest of the dalda or ghee in a pan and fry the puris or phenori over moderate heat. When it is hot, roll it in sugar and cardamom powder. Store it in an airtight container. This sweet dish is normally made on festival days. It is not too sweet as we are only coating the puris with the sugar powder.
