Can this thukkada be baked in microwave instead of frying in oil?
I have tried this recipe but it was crunchy form the outside and soft frm the inside.what could b d reason for this?
Hi,
1. Cook the Thukkada in the low flame. Once the oil is hot, simmer the stove and cook the thukkada in the low flame.
2. The maida flour has to be rolled to the thin layer like chappati. It should not be very thick.
In the video – it is mentioned as Wheat flour and now you are saying as maida. Also, for sweet thukkada- do we add jaggery or sugar.
Is it not necessary to add salt
Don`t we require salt for this?
It was a miss. I have updated the post with salt. Thanks for letting me know.
add little bit shortening for making dough that time ( maida+salt+shooting ( dalda) getting crispy and tasty ( 325* f temperature )
Hi,
I think you forgot to add "Ghee" in the ingredient list on both recipe and video. Just wanted to let you know. I really enjoy watching your videos. Thank you!
Ghee is optional for this spicy thukkada. Thanks for letting me know.
What do you mean when you say “allow all the diamond shaped pieces to dry completely”. How long should we wait? Should it be dry as in breakable? Kindly clarify.
Dry for 5 mins before adding it in oil. if the pieces are wet, it may burst in oil.
