Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup rice
  • 2 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 tablespoon ghee
  • water for soaking and grinding
  • oil / ghee for frying

Method
 

  1. Wash the rice and soak it overnight in water.
  2. Next day, discard the water and rinse it. Grind rice along with ghee and sugar. Let the batter be of medium consistency
  3. You may use a squeezy bottle to make the rings, otherwise cut a disposable half litre bottle and use it. It comes out good with it too.
  4. Heat oil in a pan. once the oil is hot, put batter in the mould and drop it in the shape of a ring. Deep fry until golden in colour. Repeat for the rest of the dough.

Notes

  • Jhir are long sticks used to deep fry and remove the rings from oil.
  • The batter can be put using hand but it needs practice.
  • The used bottle technique works good, just ensure the lid is closed, open the lid while you are ready to drop the batter.
