Teepi gavvalu (Sweet shells)

Ingredients:
Maida flour - 1 cup
Rava - 2 spoons
Sugar - 1/2 cup
Cardamom powder - 1 spoon
Ghee/oil - 2 spoons
Water
Salt a pinch
Water
Oil for deep fry

Procedure:
Mix the flour, rava, salt and water thoroughly. Make a soft dough and keep aside for 15-20 mins.
Take a thick bottom pan and add water, sugar and cardamom powder. Bring it to boil and prepare thin syrup and keep aside
Now take the flour and make small marble size balls.
For preparing this shells we have a wooden tool with tiny grooves. When the dough is pressed on it and rolled you get the shape of shell.
But here I don't have that tool. So this can also be made by hair comb (but yeah it should be unused new one ofcourse :D )
So take one ball press it on the hair comb and roll. Prepare in the same way for rest of the balls.
Mean while take a pan and add oil into it. Deep fry the shells and dip them into the sugar syrup.
After 2-3 mins remove from the sugar syrup and let them dry.




Its Nandita who is ready to attack the sweets before I could capture them in cam :D
