When I saw this recipe in her blog…I was so happy ..because i can prepare my fav sweet at home only…but i was not very sure that weather i will be able to do this as like that or not……..
Finally I tried this for Diwali……and u beleive me or not it was so nice..I felt so happy and proud that i could be able to make it…..thanks again to Vani….please Visit her blog(http://vanilohit.blogspot.com/2011/09/saate.html)
She has got lots of yummy and treditional nice recipes…..
so here is the recipe….I have made very very miner changes accordingly…apart from that i have used the same method as she has mentioned in her blog…..
Ingradents:
All purpose flour (maida) 2 cups
pure Ghee/Clarified butter(or also u can use dalda but i have used ghee) – 1/4 cup
Icing Sugar – around 1 3/4 cups
Pinch of salt
warm Water
Oil for deep frying
Silver Foil paper(u can also use a Nylon cloth as mentioned in original recipe)
Procedure:
Mix all purpose flour, salt and ghee in a mixing bowl nicely.
Now Add water little by little and knead non sticky dough(as like rooti dough).Rest it for 10-15 mins by covering it with a thin plastic sheet.
Now divide the dough into 2 parts.take one portion of the dough and roll in circle shape(similar to rooti)
Fold it twice and you will get a triangle shape.
Roll it again like chapathi and fold it.
Repeat this for at-least 13 – 14 times(for lots of layers inside).
Finally, roll it into 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick and cut into circle by using cookies cutter.
Repeat the same producer for the rest of the dough…once u finished…(Prick the circles with a fork for best results)
Heat oil in a deep bottom pan. Deep fry the Saate on lower medium flame till it is golden and crispy both the side(for around 10-15 mins)
Transfer the deep fried Saate onto a tissue paper to absorb the excess oil if required(mine was not oily) and keep aside to cool down.
Mean while add around 1/4cup(add little more if required) water to the Icing sugar mix well and bring to boil(for glazing). Prepare a thick sugar syrup.keep in to get cool bit.
Now arrange the deep fried saate on a silver foil paper.Pour around 1-2 spoons of warm sugar syrup(not too hot) on the top of each Saate and spread it little-bit.
Keep aside till the sugar syrup is settled and crystallized,then take out the the saate from foil sheet and its ready to serve..
