Panasa Tonalu

Hi Friends

Long time that I have blogged a sweet. My tastebuds are asking me to make a sweet today. Let us make a simple yet delicious sweet 'Panasa Tonalu' today. This sweet got its name from the delicious fruit Panasa (Jack Fruit) as they just look like Panasa Tonalu after we make them them. Let us see how to prepare them.

Ingredients

• Maida                                        2 cups
• Salt                                            a pinch
• Butter or Ghee                           2 tbsp
• Sugar                                         2 cups
• Cardamom Powder                   1 tbsp
• Oil for frying

How I did it

1. Take Maida in a bowl and add a pinch of salt to it. Add the Butter/Ghee to it and mix well.
2. Now add water little by little and knead it into a dough.
3. Now take a small piece of dough and make it into a ball. 
4. Roll it thin like a chapati.
5. Take a knife and put insertions vertically on the rolled chapati without cutting the ends of it.
6. Hold the ends of the chapati and roll it and seal both the ends.
7. Heat a pan and heat the oil. Fry these in hot oil.
8. Meanwhile make a sugar syrup adding the cardamom powder in thread like consistancy.
9. Dip the fried panasa tonalu in sugar syrup and remove them.
10. Enjoy the hot and crunchy PANASA TONALU.

My Notes

• Make the chapati thinly. It will make them more crunchy when you fry them.
• You can powder the sugar and srpinkle them on the fried Panasa Thonalu instead of dipping them in the sugar syrup.
