Sweet Pumpkin Cookie (Gharga)




Servings : 2 persons

Time : 30 minutes

Ingredients :

Red/Yellow pumpkin grated 1 cup
jaggery 1 cup
Rice flour 1/2 cup
semolina 1/2 cup
wheat flour 1/4 cup
clarified butter 1/2 teaspoon

Stepwise Instructions :

Mix clarified butter, grated pumpkin, jaggery and cook on medium heat for about 10 minutes. Covering the mixture with a lid helps cooking it fast. Turn off the heat. While still hot, add the rice flour, semolina and wheat flour and mix thoroughly. It will form a dough. After 30 minutes split the dough into small balls. Apply thin layer of vegetable/canola oil to a plastic paper and place the ball on it. Then press each ball with hand into a circular shape. Deep fry these cookies on medium heat till brown color.

Cookies taste better when eaten with clarified butter.
