Thekua ~ Indian Cookies

Ingredients

2 Cups All Purpose Flour
4 Tablespoons Semolina
8 Tablespoons Powdered Sugar
4 Teaspoons Grated Dry Coconut
1/8 Teaspoon Cardamom Powder
8 Teaspoons + More for deep frying Oil/ Ghee
Water- To make a dough

Directions

Mix flour, sugar, coconut, semolina and cardamom together and add in 8 teaspoons of oil. Using water bring everything together to form a crumbly dough. Meanwhile keep the oil to heat in a deep frying pan at medium heat.

Roll out the dough to about 3-4 mm thickness, then using a cookie cutter cut out the shapes. Gather the trimmed edges and again repeat the rolling and cutting procedure till all the dough is used up.

Prick the cookies with a fork to prevent them from puffing. Deep fry these cookies in hot oil on medium heat till they turn golden brown in color. Remove the cookies from oil and place them on kitchen paper to remove excess oil.

Once cool store these cookies in an airtight container, these stay good for about 2 weeks.
