Author's note:
Here is a recipe for quick khaja, it can be made
within half an hour.
Ingredients:
- 2 10-oz
cans of frozen hearty layered buttermilk
biscuit. (One 10 oz can contains 10
biscuits.)
- Oil to
deep fry
- 3 cups
sugar for chashni
- 2 cups
water
- 1 tsp
elaichi (cardamom) powder
In a pot make thick chashni with sugar, elaichi
powder and water. Keep hot.
In a wok or pan heat oil for deep frying.
Break the biscuit can and separate the biscuits.
When the oil is hot, deep fry the biscuits one
or two at a time. When golden, take out and
immediately dip in thick chashni nicely. Take
out and keep on a plate. Do the same with all
the biscuits. In order for khaja to be crisp,
the chashni should be hot all the time. You can
put the chashni pot on very low heat in order to
keep it warm. By the time all the biscuits are
fried and dipped in chashni the sugar coating of
kaja will be dry. Enjoy.
(Prepare
chashni by putting sugar in boiling water and
stirring it until a thick consistent solution is
attained)
