Semolina Cute Snacks

  1. First, put on your prettiest apron and flash your sweetest smile because you are all set to create a marvellous delight in your kitchen that you and your family are going to love!
  2. Now let's start off-- To prepare the dough, boil water in a large pot.
  3. Once it boils, lower flame and allow it to simmer.
  4. Take a bowl and mix semolina and sugar in it.
  5. Add it to the boiling water alongwith salt to taste.
  6. Stir it continuously (this is VERY IMPORTANT) as you add it and cook it until it becomes a thick mixture.
  7. Remove from flame.
  8. Allow it to cool.
  9. Knead the dough now to make it a little softer.
  10. Now start preparing the stuffing.
  11. To do so, take a large mixing bowl and in it mix together the freshly grated coconut, sugar and the cardamom powder.
  12. Heat this mixture on medium flame.
  13. Stir it continuously and cook until the mixture dries.
  14. Allow it to cool.
  15. Prepare balls out of the dough you had prepared earlier.
  16. Take a drop or two of ghee and apply it on your palms.
  17. Now carefully flatten each ball on your palm, or rather, in between your palms.
  18. Carefully, make a small non-pierced hole in the centre of each ball.
  19. Place a little stuffing on it and close the hole.
  20. Shape all balls likewise like flattened round cutlets.
  21. Heat ghee in a wok on high flame.
  22. Carefully, lower the semolina delights in the ghee and deep fry them on medium flame till they turn golden brown on either side.
  23. Remove onto clean paper towels to allow the excess oil to drain out.
  24. Now comes the part I love best- Garnish each delight with half a cashewnut for the mouth and red half cherries for 2 eyes!
  25. Ain't that pretty, eh!
  26. Eat'em, burp and smile with delight!
  27. Enjoy!
