Instructions

Whisk the wheat flour,semolina,salt ,icing sugar and ghee in a food processor till it resembles fine bread crumbs.If doing this by hand ,working quickly, rub the mixture with your finger tips so that the ghee blends well with the flour

For the filling: Heat ghee in a pan. Add the amla, jaggery and fig(or any other fruit/dry fruit)
Mix and cook till the mixture becomes dry (about 5 minutes)

Pre-heat the oven to 180 degree celcius
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
On a lightly floured work surface roll out the dough into a rectangle about 1/8″ thick
Cut it into smaller approximately 3x4 inch rectangles. (You should get about 20 rectangles after reusing the scraps)
Place about 1 teaspoon filling on the centre of 1 rectangle leaving enough space around to seal it.
Place another rectangle over it and using your fingertips press firmly around the edges to seal the filling.
Use the tines of a fork to seal the edges completely.
Place the pop tart on the baking sheet
Repeat this process with the other rectangles
Prick the top of the pop tarts with a fork, so that the steam can escape.
Brush the tops lightly with honey .
Bake for about 12-15 minutes or till golden brown (timing may change depending on the oven or size of pop tarts)
