Key Ingredients for this Traditional Sweet
Thekua banane ke liye aapko kuch basic ingredients ki zaroorat padegi. Sabhi ingredients aasani se ghar mein ya local market mein mil sakte hain:
- Aata (Whole Wheat Flour) – 1 cup
- Gud (Jaggery) – 1/2 cup
- Grated Coconut – 2 tbsp
- Saunf (Fennel Seeds) – 1 tsp
- Ghee (Clarified Butter) – 2 tbsp
- Water – As required
- Oil or Ghee for frying
Step-by-Step Thekua Recipe
1. Gud Syrup Taiyaar Karen:
Ek chhote pan mein paani aur gud ko mix karke halki aanch par cook karein. Gud ko fully dissolve hone dein aur fir is syrup ko thoda thanda hone dein.
2. Dough Taiyaar Karen:
Ek bade bowl mein aata daalein, grated coconut, saunf aur ghee daalein. Phir dheere-dheere gud syrup ko ismein add karte hue dough banayein. Dough zyada tight ya loose nahi hona chahiye—medium consistency ho, taaki thekua ki shapes ache se ban sakein.
3. Thekua Ki Shaping Karein:
Dough ko chhote portions mein divide karein aur har portion ko apne haath se round ya oval shape dein. Aap chahein toh fork ya knife se design bhi bana sakte hain taaki traditional look aaye.
4. Deep Frying:
Ek kadhai mein oil ya ghee ko heat karein. Jab oil achhe se garam ho jaye, toh thekua ko medium flame par fry karein. Har side ko golden brown hone tak fry karein. Dhyan rahein ki flame zyada high na ho, warna thekua jal sakta hai.
5. Cooling and Serving:
Fried thekuas ko tissue paper par rakhein taaki extra oil nikal jaye. Thoda thanda hone par aap inhe serve kar sakte hain. Yeh 2-3 weeks tak fresh rehta hai aur iska taste time ke saath aur enhance ho jata hai.
Thekua Banane Ki Tips
- Gud Syrup ko halka thanda karke hi aate mein add karein taaki dough sahi consistency ka bane.
- Agar aapko crispy texture chahiye toh thekua ko thodi der tak fry karein, lekin dhyan rahein ki woh jal na jaye.
- Ismein cardamom powder bhi daal sakte hain for added aroma.
