KHAVA SATORI RECIPE :

INGREDIENTS :


FOR THE STUFFING : (Will make around 20 Satoris)

Khoya/Khava/Mawa: 500 gms
Castor Sugar: 2 bowls (Can be adjusted as per taste)
Desi ghee or clarified butter: 2-3 tsp
Wheat flour: 1 bowl
Cardamom powder: ½ tsp
Khus Khus / Poppy seeds: ½ bowl
FOR THE COVERING:
Maida: 500 gms
Rawa or Sooji: 1 bowl
Warm Milk: 3 tbsp
2-3 Table spoons of Hot Oil (This is called ‘Mohan’ in Marathi and helps in making the covering crisp)
Pinch of salt

METHOD: 

1. In a mixing bowl, take 3 tbsp of warm milk. Add the Sooji/ Rawa to this milk. Keep aside for some time till all the milk is absorbed into the rawa.

2 To this add the Maida, a pinch of salt and the oil while its still hot.

Mix using as little water as possible to make a stiff yet soft dough. Keep covered for at least two to three hours.

For the stuffing:

1. In a thick bottomed pan or wok, first heat the khoya till a little ghee separates from it. Stir continuously to avoid burning or the khava changing colour. This will take a few minutes.

2. Remove and keep aside.

3. In the pan, now add the wheat flour and roast it for 2 minutes while stirring continuously, this prevents the khava from curdling .

4. In a bowl, mix khava, roasted wheat flour, castor sugar, poppy seeds and cardamom powder.

5. Mix this well. Add more sugar if required. The stuffing is now ready.

MAKING THE PURIS:

Make small round balls of the dough and roll them out till they are about 5 cms in Diameter.Take similar quantity of the stuffing and stuff this inside the rolled out dough .

Make it round again by covering the filling with dough on all sides.Roll out these rounds gently with a roling pin or belan till they are around 4 inches in diameter.

Remember, the Satori should not be very thin. Should be about 2-3 mm in thickness. Else they wont puff up.

Heat them on a taws or a flat pan on medium or low heat. Spread a little ghee on them as you roast them. 

This will give a nice golden brown colour and flavour as well.These can be eaten hot or room temperature, as per your liking.Can also be stored for upto a week in the refrigerator.
