Gavvalu recipe | sweet version

Gavvalu recipe - Preparation Time : 10 mins | Cooking Time : 25 Mins |Serves: 2 Maida | all purpose flour 1/2 cup Sooji | rava 1 tblsp Hot oil 2 tsp Melted ghee 1 tsp Sugar * 1/3 cup Salt a pinch Baking soda a pinch Water to knead the dough Oil for deep frying * I used raw sugar, you can use jaggery or white sugar too. Method: In a wide bowl, add the flour, sooji, salt, baking soda, hot oil and ghee. Mix it well. Add water little by little to make it into a dough. Let this be like a chapathi dough and not too hard. If you have time, keep it aside for 10 minutes, else go ahead with making the gavvalu. Make the dough into small balls, like how we make for vella seedai. Roll this over the gavvalu maker and make the shells. Alternatively, you can use a big fork or a big new comb. Grease the comb before you start making. Make this for the rest of the dough. Heat oil and once it is hot, keep the flame low. Gently drop the shells into the oil. Fry this in low flame till it becomes golden brown and crisp. Take out from oil and drain excess oil in a kitchen towel. Let's make the sugar syrup. Add sugar in a saucepan and add 2 tblsp of water. Let the sugar dissolve completely and boil in a low flame till you get 2 string consistency. When you take a drop of sugar syrup in your fingers, and hold between your index and thumb finger, it should form 2 strings. Switch off the flame. Add the fried gavvalus into the sugar syrup and mix it up nicely. Take it out from the syrup and allow this to cool completely by spreading it into a plate. Once done, separate them and store this in an airtight container. Sweet gavvalus are ready.
