Namaskar!
I'm Nisha Madhulika
Today, we will prepare dhoda
It is a famous sweet of Delhi and Gurgaon
It is very tasty
and you can easily prepare it at home
Made with ingredients available at home
Let's get started!
For preparing dhoda, the main ingredient is
Sprouted wheat
How to sproute wheat?
Wheat grains are available in any mill
Wash and soak them overnight
These are soaked wheat grains
Take a sieve
lay a cotton cloth
add soaked wheat to the cloth
wrap it in the cloth
wet the cloth with water
Take a plate
keep a bowl over it
Keep the sieve over the bowl
so the air can pass from all sides
Leave it for 2 days to sproute
after a day, sprinkle water over the cloth
Ensure the cloth stays wet
after 2 days
unwrap the cloth
wheats are well sprouted
see, how nicely they have sprouted
we will prepare dhoda from this
This is 1 cup of sprouted wheat
We have soaked 1/2 cup of
wheat for preparing dhoda
now coarsely grind them
No need to add water or milk
See, we have ground the wheat coarsely
Pulse, check and stir, then again pulse
If it looks dry then add
1-2 spoon of water or milk
Transfer the ground wheat to the Kadai
Take them out in the Kadai
add 1/4 cup of curd
Curd will help turn milk sour
and giving dhoda a nice taste
For dhoda burfi, we need sprouted wheat
as the sprouted wheat are sweet
It gives Dhoda Burfi a unique taste
Do not take sour curd
Take fresh curd
After mixing curd and wheat
pour 1 litre full cream milk
cook it over low medium heat
Stir the milk at intervals
we have sprouted the wheat
but you can buy them too
They look like Daliya
but that daliya isn't made of dried wheat
Sprouted wheat is dried
and then prepared as daliya
Ready made Dhodas are
prepared with dried wheat
at home you can easily
prepare it with wheat
Stir the mixture at intervals
Make sure the spatula
touches the bottom of the Kadai
to save it from getting stick
See, the milk has turned sour
If it doesn't turn sour then
add 2-4 drops of lemon juice here
now cook till it becomes dense
Stir every so often and
keep the flame low-medium
do not cook it over high heat
Let it turn denser
Meanwhile, prepare glucose syrup
For that take 1/4 cup of sugar
and pour 1/2 cup water from the same cup
that means 2 tbsp
1/4 cup = 4 tbsp
turn on the flame
and cook over low-medium
flame till sugar dissolves
stir at intervals
and make sure to stir the milk too
Stirring is really important
Sugar has dissolved
add 1/2 pinch salt
and 2-3 drops of lemon juice
Check the sugar syrup
Sugar has dissolved
The last drop will fall as wire
You can check it in another way too
Take a little syrup
and pour it in cold water
The syrup shouldn't dissolve in water
Collect the syrup
It is easy to collect and make a ball of it
Glucose Syrup is ready
I have prepared it in less quantity
Enough to prepare dhoda
Sprouted wheat mixture
has thickened quite much
Take 1/2 cup of brown sugar
you can add white sugar,
jaggery sugar, or jaggery itself
add anything you like
brown sugar will give it color
otherwise, you will have to add
color in case of white sugar
jaggery sugar will also give color to sweet
and mix well.
and cook while stirring every so often
The mixture has thickened alot

stirring at intervals

It will add nice taste and thicken to Dhoda
1/4 cup of chopped cashews
They will also make dhoda delicious
For nice aroma, 1/2 tsp of
coarsely ground cardamom
You can add coarsely crushed cardamom seeds
It will make it more delicious
1/4 tsp of nutmeg powder
for nice taste and fragrance
you can skip it if you want
The mixture color is still light
as dhoda is of dark color
To add color, we will add cocoa powder
Take 1 tbsp of milk
and add 1 tsp of cocoa powder
and mix well
and add cocoa mixture to the Kadai

attained curdling consistency
Take a burfi tray to set the mixture

and do not make them thin.
