Process of assembling Ghari

 

Take half a cup, put stuffing in it and set it by pressing.  After setting, invert the cup and take out the stuffing with a jerk.  Ghee will come out in the shape of a cup.  Prepare all the stuffing by assembling it in the same way.

 

Mash the dough lightly and break it into small balls.  Take a ball and make it round like a peda.  Roll it thin and keep a stuffing in the middle.  Lift the poori and close it making a plate and take out the extra dough from the top.  Then shape it by pressing it, assemble the rest in the same way.

 

Process of frying Ghari

 

Put ghee in a pan and heat it, the ghee should be medium hot and the flame should be low-medium.  Put a ghari in hot ghee and fry it while pouring ghee on it with a ladle.  Take it out when it turns light brown from both the sides.  Fry the rest in the same way, Surti Ghari will be ready.  Keep them on a plate and let them cool down.

 

When it cools down, mix the ghee kept in the fridge in ½ cup of sugar powder.  Then dip a ghari in this mixture and coat it from both the sides and keep it in a plate.  Coat all the ghari in the same way and keep them on a plate.  Garnish them with pistachios and keep them in the fridge for half an hour.  Then serve them and enjoy their taste.

 

Suggestions

 

After mixing Mawa and dry fruits, sugar powder is to be added after it cools down completely.

The dough should not be too hard and not too soft.

The poori has to be rolled evenly and the rounds have to be closed properly.

While frying the ghari, the ghee should be medium hot and the flame should be low-medium.

It is not to be turned too much while frying and also not to brown too much.

Ghari can also be kept in a mixture of ghee-sugar powder by coating it from one side only.
