ABOUT Kurs (Sindhi Sweet - Diwali Special) RECIPE

Here's a recipe from my Grandma's closet. She always made this sweet along with the Gurdani every Diwali. Unlike these days, our mothers and grand mothers made every thing at home during festive days. And hard as I try, I can't match her skills in this recipe. It's not as simple as it looks, as the whole trick is about timing and once you know that, (which comes only by experience), you are a master!

Ingredients Serving: 10

  1. Maida (Refined Flour): 500 gms
  2. Dalda (Vanaspati, the hardened one): 500 ml
  3. Sugar: 750 gms, made into 1-thread consistency syrup in about 2 cups water

Instructions

  1. Make the sugar syrup into 1 thread consistency and let it cool completely.
  2. Heat the vanaspati and add maida into it. Keep stirring briskly for about 20 minutes on sim (in between, increase flame for a few minutes twice), until the consistency becomes thin, and the aroma changes.
  3. The colour will also change from white to brownish-cream. (not brown)
  4. Keep stirring it. It becomes thinner & of flowing consistency.
  5. Now you remove it from fire to let it cool until it is luke warm.
  6. At this stage add the sugar syrup through a seive to the cooled maida (off the flame), then stir briskly until you can feel the pressure of the thickening of the maida paste. This has to be done off the flame.
  7. We mix it for a long long time until the mixture thickens & we can see it hardening.
  8. As soon as you can feel it becoming really thick, as shown in the photo, transfer onto a greased plate, and shake the plate hard on the platform to even it out. (Do not use ladle to smoothen it. This is to retain the gloss.)
  9. Let it set. Cut into cubes.
