Ingredients

For outer covering:

  • 1 cup maida
  • 2 tablespoon ghee
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • oil to deep fry

For syrup:

  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 4 strands saffron

For inner stuffing:

Instructions

  • Crumble khoya, add chopped nuts and powdered sugar.
  • Add cardamom power and mix well.
  • Take maida in a mixing bowl. Add ghee and salt, first mix this well to resemble bread crumbs.
  • Add water little by little to form a smooth pliable non-sticky dough. Set aside to rest.
  • Take sugar in a pan, add water to it. Add saffron strands.
  • Heat it up, boil until it reduces and forms a sticky syrup. No need to check for string consistency. Set aside.
  • Now knead the dough well. Roll to a thin sheet, cut with a  lid.

Making Suryakala:

  • Take 2 circles. add 2 teaspoon stuffing in the center.
  • Cover with another circle, press at the edges to seal completely. Pinch fold continuously to get pattern like sun.

Making Chandrakala:

  • Take a circle, add 2 teaspoon of khoya stuffing.
  • Fold from one side, press and seal the edges. Pinch fold continuously to get pattern like half moon. Repeat to finish the dough.
  • Heat oil in a kadai, add 2-3 at a time, fry until golden brown. Cook in low medium flame. Drain and then add it to warm sugar syrup.
  • Turn over  and let it soak for 5 mins, then remove it from syrup and arrange it in a plate. Enjoy Suryakala Chandrakala!

Notes

  • While folding do not make the edges too thin, if the edges are thin then it may turn very crisp.
  • Give at least 30 mins resting time before tasting it for best results.
  • You can even give one string consistency for sugar syrup but I prefer sticky stage.
