Ingredients :
All purpose flour / maida - 1cup
Ghee / Clarified Butter - 4 to 5 tsp
Water - as required
Sugar - 3/4 cup(can also use jaggery)
Lemon juice-2 or 3 tsp(optional)
Oil - for deep fry
Tools
Gavval peeta (wooden tool) instead of this,use cleaned comb,fork or any bottle lid which has lines on the top of lid.
Method :
1.Heat melt the ghee,In a mixing bowl add flour and hot ghee mix with a spoon or spatula.Add required water and make a soft chapathi dough.
2.Heat the oil on medium flame for deep fry
3.Mean time make the small balls out of the dough.on the gavvala peeta prees and roll the dough balls into shell shape.repaet this process to all balls.
5.When oil heat deep fry them till they turned into golden color and shell become crisp.Drain and keep them a side.
6.Prepare sugar syrup.In another bowl add sugar and water and make 2 or 3 string syrup consistency.here just add little water or just sprinkle the water to melt the sugar then easly can get right syrup consistency other wise it takes more time to get the consistency.
5.If you don't want the sugar crystallized gavvalu add 2 or 3 tsp lemon juice to sugar syrup.then the syrup don't turned to crystal.I like to have uncrystallized sugar gavvalu,,So I added lemon juice to sugar.
7.When the sugar syrup done add the gavvalu to syrup and mix well.Transfer them into a plate and let it cool.
