This sweet dish is a staple in many households, symbolizing celebration and hospitality. Its rich, buttery flavor combined with the crunch of nuts and the warmth of cardamom makes it a comforting treat enjoyed by people of all ages.

1

Heat milk in a utensil and add sugar. Dissolve the sugar well.

2

Pass the plain flour through hole sieve before using it for making suvari. In plain flour add sesame seeds, cardamom powder and ghee. Mix well and make sure the flour binds well. If it doesn’t bind add little ghee to it.

3

Now add the prepared milk and knead the dough. Knead the dough in milk and don’t use water to make perfect suvari.

4

Let the dough rest for 10-15 minutes.

5

After resting knead it again and make small portions out of it. Roll it into small puris.

6

Heat oil and deep fry the puris. We need a light brown colour so fry it accordingly on medium gas. Suvari will be soft when hot and as it cools it will become crispy. You can also deep fry them in ghee.
