One of the most simplest snacks ....very few ingredients.....can make it quick.....and tastes great. These Tukdis/Shankerpalli are like - Deep Fried Short Bread Cookies.
This is the sweet version...we also make spicy Tukdis which are thinner than this.My daughter can just munch on this the whole day.

ReplyDeletehi charishma,
ReplyDeletei have tried this recipe. very sorry to say, i was extremely disappointed the way it turned out. when i fried the tukdi's the butter in them melted and the frying pan was filled with the mixture of batter and oil.

ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear that...I know how disappointing it is when you start of to cook something and the end result does not turn out the way its supposed to...I sincerely don't know what would have gone wrong....i make the tukdi every diwali and always found it to be the most simplest....the few reasons i can think of is...
maybe butter content was more
and I use US standard measuring cups for all my recipes, 1 cup is 250 ml,maybe that way the measurement would have gone wrong
and the dough must be like chappati dough....soft and easy to roll out
and the heat of the oil....when you drop one piece into the hot oil...the dough to sizzle little in the bottom and then float up
thats all i can think of right now...Iam really sorry it did not turn out right for you ...i can totally understand if u are pissed off with me...but i seriously think u should try it again coz it has always been a 'no fail recipe'..this time use more flour and make sure that the butter is in room temprature...hope you can try it again and you like the end result and you let me know about it
