Puri Kurma reciepe

Recipe for Puri :

Wheat flour - 1 cup

Hot oil - 1 tbsp

Salt - 1/2 tsp

Milk - 2 tbsp

Water to make dough

Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and make in to a dough(not too soft nor too hard)

Keep it aside only for 10 minutes.

Oil to fry puri.

Keep oil in a kadai. Till it gets hot, 

there are  two ways to roll the puri,

 

normal method is,

take small lemon size balls and roll into small round shapes. Keep it aside. Once the oil is hot, slip all the puris one by one and fry the puris on high flame. If you try to fry it in low flame, the puris will soak more oil.  

 

Method is,

Take a big portion of (almost a big orange shape) dough and roll it into thick and big round cirlce(in to the size of a eating plate). Take a small bowl or katori which has sharp edge. Keep it with sharp edge on the rolled dough on a side and press it hard so that you will get the puri out when you remove the bowl. Repeat with the remained rolled dough. And at the end you will get a star shape in the middle. Or you can cut with a knife for desired shape. When ever I make it for the kids, I will try to make maximum shapes like triangle, diamond or star. Star shape is my daughter's favorite.

Milk pedhas

Ingredients:
4 cups milk
1 cup sugar
Cardamom powder
Ghee
Method:
Heat the milk on a medium low heat stirring continuously. (First hour, stir it only once in about 3-5mins but after 1st hr you need to stir continuously).
When the milk is reduced to one cup (measure it after approximately 3hrs) to see if it is 1 cup. Then add the sugar. Keep mixing. When it starts leaving edges and looks quite dry, add the cardamom powder.
Take it out on a plate greased with ghee. Let it cool to room temperature. Make the pedas.
Makes about 15 pedas
Preparation time : 4hrs

PS: Use whole milk for a better result.
Use thick bottomed pans for reducing milk, since milk sticks to bottom very easily. A wide bottomed pan saves a lot of time.
If you have a large quantity of milk, you can keep the heat on medium initially for about hour or so and keep stirring frequently.
Some people add some dry fruits or saffron/food color to give extra flavor/color to it. I prefer the pure one, so I haven’t used any.
