Step 1 - Make the Dough
Add ghee, milk, and sugar to a saucepan. Cook on low heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar completely dissolves. Allow it to cool. In a mixing bowl add all-purpose flour, salt, and vanilla. Gradually add the cooled milk mixture to form a soft dough. Allow the dough to rest for 20 minutes. Note: The dough will continue to harden as the ghee starts to solidify.
My biggest tip is to keep the frying pan on the back burner which is further away from you. This can prevent any accidents, especially with little kids around. If you’re new to cooking or frying, it’s best to start with a frying pan that has a flat base instead of a traditional Kadai, which has a round bottom. A flat-base frying pan provides better stability and even heat distribution, making it easier to control the cooking process.
Baked or Air Fryer Shankarpali
I’ve experimented with both baking and air-frying Shakarpara using this recipe, and I’ve found that the baked ones turn out a bit harder. So, I definitely recommend air-frying instead! To air fry, just place the Shakarpara in a single layer in the air fryer tray or basket. Preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees and cook for 8 to 12 minutes, turning them over halfway through for even crispiness. Enjoy the delicious results! Indian Vegetarian Party Menu
