ABOUT Shakkar Para RECIPE

Diwali is incomplete without some special sweets and snacks. Shakkar Para or Sweet Mathris is one of them! This recipe is inspired from 'Rajshri Food'.

Ingredients Serving: 10

270 grams plain flour/maida
50 ml water
50 ml milk
100 grams ghee
100 grams Sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
Oil for frying

Instructions

Heat a pan and combine water, milk and sugar. Boil until sugar gets dissolved.
Add 50 grams ghee to it and cool it down to room temperature.
In a kneading plate, combine flour and the remaining ghee and mix using your hands.
Once it starts looking like bread crumbs, add the boiled syrup and form a dough. Knead it for 5 minutes. If the dough feels very sticky then add a little more flour. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
Roll half of the dough into a disc with 1/8th inch thickness. Using a sharp knife cut into squares or diamonds and fry them in medium hot oil until they turn golden brown.
