SEMOLINA CUTE SNACKS

Steps:

• 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!
• Now let's start off-- To prepare the dough, boil water in a large pot.
• Once it boils, lower flame and allow it to simmer.
• Take a bowl and mix semolina and sugar in it.
• Add it to the boiling water alongwith salt to taste.
• Stir it continuously (this is VERY IMPORTANT) as you add it and cook it until it becomes a thick mixture.
• Remove from flame.
• Allow it to cool.
• Knead the dough now to make it a little softer.
• Now start preparing the stuffing.
• To do so, take a large mixing bowl and in it mix together the freshly grated coconut, sugar and the cardamom powder.
• Heat this mixture on medium flame.
• Stir it continuously and cook until the mixture dries.
• Allow it to cool.
• Prepare balls out of the dough you had prepared earlier.
• Take a drop or two of ghee and apply it on your palms.
• Now carefully flatten each ball on your palm, or rather, in between your palms.
• Carefully, make a small non-pierced hole in the centre of each ball.
• Place a little stuffing on it and close the hole.
• Shape all balls likewise like flattened round cutlets.
• Heat ghee in a wok on high flame.
• Carefully, lower the semolina delights in the ghee and deep fry them on medium flame till they turn golden brown on either side.
• Remove onto clean paper towels to allow the excess oil to drain out.
• Now comes the part I love best- Garnish each delight with half a cashewnut for the mouth and red half cherries for 2 eyes!
• Ain't that pretty, eh!
• Eat'em, burp and smile with delight!
• Enjoy!
