Instant Anarsa

 

Ingredients:

• Rice flour - 1 cup
• Gluten-free Maida - 2 tsp
• Gluten-free flour - 2 tsp
• Water - 1 ½ cups
• Sugar - 5-6 tbsp (adjust to taste)
• Dahi (plain yogurt) - 2 tsp
• Ghee (clarified butter) - 2 tbsp
• Sesame seeds - ¼ cup
• Salt – a pinch
• Oil - for deep frying

 

Procedure:

1. In a large bowl, combine the rice flour, gluten-free maida, gluten-free flour, and a pinch of salt.
2. In a saucepan, bring 1 ½ cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, stir in the sugar until it is completely dissolved.
3. Immediately add the flour mixture to the boiling water, stirring vigorously until a dough forms.
4. Remove the pan from the heat, cover it, and let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
5. After 10 minutes, add the ghee and dahi to the dough mixture. Knead thoroughly until you achieve a smooth, crack-free dough.
6. Take small portions of the dough and roll them into smooth, crack-free balls.
7. Roll each dough ball in the sesame seeds until it is evenly coated. If the balls feel dry and the seeds are not adhering, lightly moisten your hands with a small amount of oil or ghee before rolling them in the sesame seeds.
8. Heat the oil for deep frying in a pan over medium flame.
9. Carefully place the dough balls into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
10. Fry the anarsas until they are golden brown and appear crispy.
11. Remove the fried bites with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
