Lolo(Sweet loli)

Ingredients:

• 250 gms wheatflour
• 60 gms sugar
• 35 ml oil
• Water
• Green cardamons(choti elaichi)4-5

Method:

• In a saucepan boil about a cup of water,add sugar,cardamons(peeled or crushed)
• Let the sugar dissolve properly
• Alternatively some of sugar can be substituted with jaggery,so in that case boil jaggery and sugar together, also put a spoonful of milk as it will remove the impurities of sugar
• Now this is tricky as the syrup consistency should not be too thin or else the lolas will be less sweeter .It should be dark brownish in colour
• Now let the syrup cool off properly
• Strain it
• Take the wheat flour ,mix oil and pour the syrup little by little and knead the flour,adding more syrup at intervals
• The dough should be stiff and if needed very small amount of water can be added
• Take a ball size portion of this dough and with the help of rolling pin roll it a little
• Put it on hot griddle and turn it on other side ,you need to just roast it little
• Then roll it again a little,remembering that lolas are supposed to be really thick
• Then cook it on low flame,adding generous amount of oil and tossing it gently at regualr intervals
• Since it is too thick,cook it on really low flame(some also use two girdles one above other to get perfect results)till small brown patches appears on both side
• Taste best with curd or onion pickle
