THEKUA: Indian Home made cookie

I am huge fan of Thekua or Khajur which is a home made cookie. It is generally made in Eastern Uttar Pradesh and Bihar of India. When I was a child, my mother used to cook thekua, and I used to finish it off, as soon as it comes out of the kitchen. I want to share the recipe of this delicious home made cookie with you.

Ingredients

500 gm: Aatta (whole wheat flour)
2 tbsp: Coconut (chopped)
300 gm: Jaggery (Gur)
4-5: Green Cardamom (peeled and mashed)
Ghee (or vegetable oil)
1.5 cup:Water
Saancha: (A Saancha is basically an embroidered surface of wood like the ones used for making block prints. This is used to give an embroidered look to the surface of khajoor when it gets pressed against it).

Method

Mix jaggery, water, and green cardamom into a watery solution.
Mix 4 tbsp ghee, jaggery syrup prepared above and coconut to aatta and make dough of it same as that for making chapatis.
Use only as much jaggery syrup as required to make dough like the one for making chapatis
Take a lump of dough (the size as that for making chapaatis), press it flat on your palm like a peda then press it against a saancha for making khajoor.
After the khajoor has acquired the imprint from the saancha, it is deep fried in ghee till reddish brown.
Ghee is strained and khajoor kept aside.
Serve when completely cooled.

Tactical commanders considered Longewala as less important location, and this was the reason to employ just one detached company. 4. Pakistanis entered India from a place called Ghotaru which is 40 kms by road away fr...
