This is my entry for Sabiha's food festival. This snack used to be something my mother used to prepare for us. I usually eyeball every ingredient for the quantity so the quantities I have given here is an approximation. I havent prepared this in a long while. Hope you all enjoy it.
Yummy fried bread (snack or desert)
Ingredients :
- A small loaf of whole wheat bread, crust removed and slices cut into quarters.
- Enough ghee or you can substitute vege oil for deep fry
- Sugar syrup (sugar : water :: 1½ : 2)
- Grated fresh(or dry) coconut (tastes better with fresh one) -1 cup
- White sesame seeds roasted - 1/4 cup
- Poppy seeds roasted - 1 tsp
- Cashewnuts and almonds crushed (optional)
- Crushed cardamom- 3 tsp
Method:
1. Prepare the sugar syrup by bringing to boil the sugar and water and keep aside to cool.
2. Fry the bread quarters in the ghee/oil till they get a brown shade; remove and put them on a paper towel to drain of the oil.
3. Mix the grated coconut, the sesame seeds, poppy seeds, crushed almonds and cashew and crushed cardamom in a bowl. (I usually put the nuts into a chopper for a few pulses)
4. Spread the mixture on to a plate.
5. After the quarters cool, dip them into the sugar syrup for a count of 30 or till they are soaked but not soggy ; remove and coat them with the mixture in the plate.
This cant be stored for long, so eat it on the same day that it was prepared. Enjoy.
