Namaskar! Welcome to Nishamadhulika.com.
Today we are going to make chirote.
Chirote is a maharashtrian dish.
This dish is very tasty and can be made on any festival such as holi, diwali, etc or whenever you feel like eating it.
So come, let's prepare the dish of chirote.
Maida - 1 cup or 125 gram
Maida - 2 tbsp (This will be used to make the satta)
Ghee - ¼ cup
Powdered sugar (Cheeni) - ½ cup or 75 gram
Ghee - To fry the chirote
To make chirote, first we'll knead a dough.
Put maida in a big bowl.
Add 2 tbsp or 30 gram melted ghee to it.
Mix well.
We have taken 125 gram dough so we'll take 30 gram ghee.
Add a little water to it and prepare a hard dough just like the one prepared for a poori.
Make sure to add lukewarm water to it.
Prepare a dough of hard consistency.
We have used 3 tbsp cup water to it.
Cover the dough and keep it aside for 15-20 minutes. The dough will set and will be ready.
Then we'll make the chirote.
20 minutes are over and our dough is now set.
Knead the dough again till it has a smooth consistency.
We will make round balls with the help of dough.
We have made around 6 balls from this much dough.
Take each ball in your hand, press it till it becomes a flat round.
Once all the balls are ready, cover it with a cloth, so that they do not get dry.
Now we will roll out the balls smoothly one by one. Roll out a thin poori.
It should be approximately 8 to 9 inch in length.
Pick up the poori and put it on a plate.
Roll out the other pooris in similar way.
Roll out and prepare all the pooris in similar way.
We have rolled out all the pooris.
Now we'll prepare the satta.
Take 2 tbsp ghee in a bowl and add maida to it.
Stir it well till it becomes fluffy.
We have mixed the ghee and maida properly.
Our satta is now ready.
Put the satta on top of the poori and spread it evenly all over.
Spread the satta on all four sides.
Now put the other poori on top of this.
Put 1 tbsp satta on top of this and spread evenly.
Put the third poori on top of this.
Put 1 tbsp satta on the top. Use a spoon and spread it all over.
Now we'll fold it this way and make a roll.
Make a roll this way.
Now let's cut it into pieces.
Cut and remove the sides of the roll.
Now cut it into pieces of ½ cm each.
We've cut the roll into pieces.
Pick up a piece of the chirote and put it on the rolling board. Press it this way and roll it out.
We can see the layers, this means that our chirote is now rolled out.
We'll roll out all the pieces this way.
We've rolled out all the chirote.
Now we'll fry them.
Let's check if the oil is hot enough to fry the chirote.
We need medium hot oil to fry the chirote.
Fry it on medium low flame.
Put as many chirote in the pan as can come at one time.
Turn on the side of the chirote and cook till they appear golden brown in colour.
Take out the chirote once they are golden brown.
Fry and prepare all the chirote in the same way.
Sprinkle a little powdered sugar on top of the chirote when they are a little warm.
The sugar will be absorbed.
Turn on the chirote and change its side.
Put powdered sugar on this side as well.
These chirote also appear golden brown so let's take them out from the wok.
It takes us around 5-6 minutes to prepare chirote of one time.
Add powdered suagr on this side as well.
You can add the powdered sugar as per your choice.
You can increase or decrease the quantity of sugar as per your comfort.
If you like eating sweets, then you can even dip the chirote in sugar syrup.
To make sugar syrup, take 1 cup sugar and add water to it and make a two string syrup.
Then dip each chirote piece in it one by one.
Sweet chirote will be prepared.
Our chirote are now ready.
Very tasty and crispy chirote are prepared.
We have prepared these chirote in desi ghee but you can also make it in refined oil.
Chirote are made very easily but you have to be a little careful.
Make sure that you roll out the chirote tightly otherwise they will not have a proper shape.
Fry the chirote on medium low flame.
If you will fry the chirote on high flame then they will not be very crispy.
Store the chirote in an airtight container, once they are cool and then eat them for a month.
