This is one of the numerous fasts that are observed by Hindus in India. It offers the prayers to Lord Ganesh. We observe the fast for the day and eat a meal after the seeing the stars in the evening.
We make sweets with white Til (sesame seeds) called "tillbugga" and "pua" (deep fried sweet, flattened discs, made of flour).
I have posted about "Tillbugga" here
So we'll be making "Pua".
Makes 8 puas
Ingredients
Sugar- 5-6 tsp
water- to cover the sugar
Wheat flour-1 and 1/2 cups approximately
Ghee/Oil for frying
Cardamom powder(optional)
How to:
Soak sugar in water.Rest for a few hours so that it dissolves.
Add cardamom powder to the syrup.
Mix wheat flour and make a hard but pliable dough. Add a spoon of Ghee while mixing.
Pinch off a little dough and roll it into a circular disc.
Heat oil in a wok/Kadai.
When the oil becomes hot lower the flame to medium and fry the disc to make a pua.
Repeat and make till all the dough is used.
Enjoy the sweet treat of the new year.
