3.00 cups

1/4 cup sugar

1/4 cup milk

2 tbsp ghee

a pinch of salt

ghee for deep-frying

For shakarpara

To make sweet shakarpara, combine the milk, sugar and ghee in a deep non-stick pan, mix well and cook on a medium flame for 2 minutes or till the sugar dissolves, while stirring occasionally. Keep aside to cool.
Sieve the whole wheat flour and salt together in a deep bowl with the help of a strainer.
Add the milk-sugar mixture, a little at a time and knead into a firm dough.
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions.
Roll out a portion into 175mm. (7”) diameter circle.
Cut it into 25 mm. (1") diamond shaped pieces and prick each diamond with a fork.
Heat the ghee in a deep non-stick kadhai and deep-fry the shakarparas, a few at a time on a slow flame till they are golden brown in colour from both the sides. Drain on an absorbent paper.
Repeat steps 5 to 7 to make more shakarparas in 3 more batches.
Cool the shakarparas completely and store in an air-tight container.
