Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Semolina
- 0.75 cup Sugar
- 2 cups Water
- 0.5 cup Soy milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Cardamom powder
- 0.25 cup Chopped nuts (almonds, pistachios, cashews)
- 2 tablespoons Golden raisins
- 4 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Water (for puri dough)
- 2 cups Vegetable oil (for deep frying)
Instructions
1. In a pan, heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil over medium heat. Add the semolina and roast it until it turns golden brown, stirring continuously to avoid burning.
2. Simultaneously, in another saucepan, bring the water, soy milk, and sugar to a boil.
3. Once the semolina is roasted, slowly add the boiling liquid to the semolina while stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
4. Reduce the heat to low, add cardamom powder, and cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens.
5. In a small pan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of coconut oil. Add the chopped nuts and raisins, and saute until the nuts are golden brown. Add this mixture to the halwa and mix well.
6. To make puris, combine whole wheat flour and salt in a mixing bowl. Gradually add water and knead to form a smooth dough.
7. Divide the dough into small balls. Roll each ball into a 5-inch circle using a rolling pin.
8. Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan. Once hot, carefully slide a rolled puri into the oil. Fry until golden brown, flipping once to cook both sides evenly.
9. Remove the puris with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining dough.
10. Serve the hot puris with the prepared halwa. Enjoy your Vegan Halwa Puri!
