I hope you might have heard about this recipe rarely. This recipe is called Motladdu, which is sweet and crispy crackers. It is one of the recipes I learned from my mom, and I love it. You can serve this during snack time. If you’d like to have it without sweet flavor, don’t follow the last step. Even you can serve Motladdu without adding sugar syrup. Let’s get started!

Ingredients:

2 cups Maida
50 g Ghee [melted]
1/2 cup Sugar
1/2 cup Water
4 pods crushed Cardamom [optional]

Step 1 – Making Dough:

Get 2 cups of plain flour/maida in a bowl. Add 50g of melted ghee, crumble it and mix well. Pour required water to make dough smooth. Once the dough is ready, let it rest for 10 minutes.

Make small sized balls out of it. Take one ball and dust it with flour. Roll it as a thin sheet. Cut into four pieces and fold the sheet with jagged edges to shape as shown in the video. Repeat the process for the entire dough. Take a plate with dusted flour to avoid sticking and place all the twisted pieces in it for frying in the next step.

Step 2 – Making Motladdu:

Heat oil for frying. Drop one by one in hot oil. Keep the flame with medium heat. Fry till it gets light golden brown. It’s ready to mix with sugar syrup. Either You can serve as it is or add sugar to it. I let you know how to make sugar syrup to make sweet Motladdu.

Step 3 – Making Sugar Syrup:

Take a pan and put 1/2 cup of sugar. You can take more depending on your sweet preference. Pour 1/2 cup of water into it. Optionally, you can put four crushed pods of cardamom. Keep the flame with medium heat and cook till it turns into string consistency.

Turn off the flame and pour this sugar syrup into the prepared Motladdu. Sprinkle some rice flour over it and mix well. You’d get 50-55 yields for this ingredient. Now, sweet-flavored Motladdu is ready to enjoy!
