Trivia Tadka

 Roath are usually prepared at the time of Kashmiri festival, Pun, as well as other auspicious occasions. Different designs are carved on the roath using a knife before frying them. Sometimes, edges are also pinched to form scallops.

Ingredients

  • Clarified butter (ghee) (200 gm)
  • Whole wheat flour (atta) (1 kg)
  • Sugar (250 gm)
  • Poppy seeds (khus-khus) (1/2 tsp)
  • Ghee for deep-frying (4 cups)

Method

  • Mix 200 gram of ghee with atta. Blend it well with your hands. The mixture should look like breadcrumbs.
  • Mix sugar with 1 1/2 cups of water in a bowl and stir until the sugar dissolves. Use this sugar syrup to bind the dough.
  • Knead well and make a stiff dough. Add more water if required.
  • Make eight pedas (balls) of equal size with the dough and roll them into half-inch thick rounds, about 8–9-inch diameter.
  • Pierce each piece with a fork all over, sprinkle a teaspoon of khus-khus on top and press it lightly with the pressure of your palm.
  • Heat ghee in a heavy-bottom pan and deep-fry the shaped roath, one by one till they turn brown in colour.
  • Drain on an oil absorbing paper. Serve the dish immediately or store in an airtight container.
