It reminds me of my childhood where I would gorge on this deep-fried sweet gulgule prepared at our home.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Punjabi households prepare a batter of a dropping consistency with sieved whole-wheat flour, strained jaggery syrup and crushed fennel seeds and then small portions of this batter are deep-fried till golden and crisp in mustard oil.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Preparation Time: 10 minutes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cooking Time: 8 to 10 minutes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Makes: 24 small gulgule<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ingredients and Quantity:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whole-wheat flour, sieved \u2013 1 cup<\/p>\n

Jaggery- \u00bd cup or more as desired<\/p>\n

Water- \u00be th cup \/ or more if required<\/p>\n

Fennel seeds, crushed- 2 tsp.<\/p>\n

Mustard oil- as required to deep fry<\/p>\n

Method:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chop the jaggery roughly and mix thoroughly with water.<\/p>\n

Strain and keep aside.<\/p>\n

In a glass bowl add the whole-wheat flour, now add the fennel seeds.<\/p>\n

Add a little jaggery syrup, mix well with a whisk.<\/p>\n

Now add the jaggery syrup and mix well till well combined and lump-free.<\/p>\n

The batter should be of a dropping consistency. Beat well till it becomes fluffy in volume.<\/p>\n

In a heavy bottomed kadhai add mustard oil, heat it till smoking point.<\/p>\n

Cool it down completely.<\/p>\n

Now reheat the oil and fry small portions of batter \/ spoonful of batter on a medium flame. Do not add too many at a time.<\/p>\n

Remove them with a slotted spoon on a kitchen absorbent paper, once they are light golden in colour on both the sides. You will see that the gulgule start floating on top of the oil.<\/p>\n

Chef Tips:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. You may add completely mashed ripe banana to the batter, if desired.<\/li>\n
  2. I prefer not adding baking powder to the batter.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
