πΌ About the Recipe
Diwali means lights, joy, and delicious sweets! β¨
This year, I created something unique β a two-color crispy sweet using maida (flour) in two ways: one with plain water and the other with beetroot juice.
The result? A vibrant, flaky, and crunchy sweet thatβs layered with ghee and coated in sugar syrup.
Itβs simple, eye-catching, and perfect for your festive platter! π
π§ Ingredients
For the dough:
- 1 cup maida (all-purpose flour)
- 1 tbsp ghee
- A pinch of salt
- Water (as needed for one dough)
- Beetroot juice (as needed for the second dough)
For layering & frying:
- Ghee (as needed)
For sugar syrup:
- 1 cup sugar
- Β½ cup water
- Β½ tsp cardamom powder (optional)
π©βπ³ Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the dough:
In a bowl, mix maida, ghee, and salt. Divide into two parts.- Knead one dough using water.
- Knead the other using beetroot juice for a natural pink color.
- Rest:
Cover both doughs and let them rest for 30 minutes. - Roll & layer:
Roll out 6 small chapatis (3 from each dough).
Brush each chapati with ghee and stack them alternately β one plain, one pink, and so on. - Cut & shape:
Roll the stacked layers slightly, then cut into desired shapes or strips. - Fry:
Heat ghee on medium flame and fry until crisp and golden brown. - Make the syrup:
Boil sugar and water together until slightly sticky (1-string consistency). Add cardamom powder for flavor. - Coat the sweets:
Dip each fried piece into the syrup for 30 seconds, then remove and let it set beautifully.
π« Pro Tips
- Resting the dough makes the layers flaky and crisp.
- Use beetroot juice for natural color β no artificial dyes needed!
- Decorate with silver vark or pistachio flakes for a festive look.
- Store in an airtight jar once cooled; stays crunchy for 3β4 days.
