Thekua ( Indian Airfried Biscuit)

Thekua ( Indian Airfried Biscuit)

Thekua is basically a Bihari Cusine recipe made during festivals such as Chatt Puja, Saraswati Puja, or for any occasion or festivals.

This recipe can be made using powdered sugar but I'm using jaggery syrup to make it more healthier. However this recipe is traditionally deep fried but I'm using my Airfrier to fry Thekua's.

Ingredients:

Whole wheat flour - 1.5 cups
Jaggery syrup - 3/4 cup
Rava / Semolina - 1 tablespoon
Grated Coconut - 1 tablespoon
Cardomon powder / Elaichi powder - 1/2 tsp
Ghee - 1 tablespoon
Oil - 1 tablespoon (Brush oil)

Method:
# Mix whole wheat flour, grated coconut, semolina or rava, cardomon powder, ghee...till it becomes bread crumbs consistently.
( if you are using... powdered sugar can mix it in  this stage)
# Add jaggery syrup and mix well.
# Sprinkle little water and prepare a stiff dough.
(as we prepare for poori or paratha)

# Roll it in 1'inch thickness and use any cookie cutter.

# Preheat Airfrier @ 180'c for 5 min.
# Initially fry @ 160 - 170'c for 15 min.

# Brush oil inbetween and fry @ 180'c for 6-7 min.
Once done can be served. Let it come to room  temperature you  can store them in an airtight container.
# If you want to bake in microwave...
In convention mode preheat for 5 min @ 180'c. Bake @ 180'c for 10-12 min.
Hope you all like it.
