Namaskar. Welcome to nishamadhulika.com
Today we will prepare Puas.
These are also called gulgule.
Pua is mainly made for fast and festival.
It is made with wheat flour sugar
or wheat flour and jaggery.
Today we will prepare pua with semolina.
It tastes really sumptuous.
Let’s start making Semolina pua.
Make batter from semolina.
Take 1 cup semolina.
This is normal semolina.
You can take fine semolina too.
Pour the semolina in a big mixing bowl.
Add ¼ cup refined flour.
Mix well.
Add water and make a dense batter.
Take 1/3 cup sugar.
Add it to the batter too.
If preferred you can add sugar to the water first
and then add semolina to make batter.
You can make it this way.
Add a little water as the batter is dense.
Sugar will absorb water and the batter will become dense.
Whisk it until it blends well.
There is still 1 tbsp water left in the cup,
don't use it now.
Batter seems good right now,
Keep the batter aside for 20 to 25 minutes
so that the semolina puffs up and the sugar dissolves.
Keep the batter aside.
If the batter seems dense, add water later.
20 minutes are done,
check the batter.
You might see some sugar crystals
on the top, but when you stir it dissolves.
Batter seems dense,
add 1 tsp water to it as it is dense.
Whisk the batter so that it becomes puffy.
Meanwhile put the ghee to heat.
Turn on the flame. Blend the batter well.
We have crushed 5 to 6 cardamoms and
made powder from it,
add it to the batter
and whisk it well for 3 to 4 minutes.
We have whisked the batter well for 4 minutes.
Batter has turned puffy.
To make batter we had taken 1 cup water,
only 2 tsp water is left.
Ghee is hot. Check the ghee.
Add a little batter i.e one pua in the ghee.
To fry the pua Medium high hot oil is needed.
Put the puas to fry.
You can make the puas big or small as desired,
Pua will be puffy , flip them.
Flip and fry the pua,
until they are golden brown.
Keep the flame medium.
Puas have turned golden brown.
Take it out.
Hold the ladle on the edge of the wok,
so that extra ghee drains back to the wok.
Keep the puas in a plate.
Fry all the puas likewise.
All the puas are fried and ready.
it takes 4 to 5 minutes to fry all puas at once.
Rava Pua gulgule is ready,
These are really scrumptious.
Crispy on the outside and soft on inside.
Making these is really easy.
Make sure, that when you make the batter,
the water is in measured quantity.
Whisk the batter really well when it puffs up.
Batter has air bubbles so the Puas turn out to be puffy.
We have made these puas in ghee,
you can make these in oil too.
Puas fried in ghee taste yummy,
When the puas cool down,
put them in a container, keep in fridge,
and relish it for 4 to 5 days.
