Kajjikkaya

Preperation Time: 25-30 min

Ingredients:
All purpose flour - 1 cup
Ghee - 1 tbsp
Cashew Nuts - A few
Raisins - A few
Sooji Rava - 1/2 cup
Coconut - 1 cup
Sugar - 1 cup

Preperation Method:
1. Take all purpose flour, ghee in a bowl. Add sufficient water and mix well to make a rough dough.

2. Heat balance ghee in a pan. Fry cashews and raisins in ghee. Add Sooji into it and saute until Sooji turns light brown in color.
3) Add coconut to the pan and saute until the mix turns golden brown in color. Add sugar to this, mix well and switch off the flame.
4) Take some dough and spread it the way we do for making Puri (Small circle shapes around 2-3 inch radius).
5) Put the mix in center of the dough spread. Then, take one side of the spread and join with the other side so that the mix remains inside the enclosed spread. Press the edges with a fork to make sure it is completely closed.
6) Heat oil in a pan. Add Kajjikka to the pan and fry till it turns golden brown in color.

Kajjikka can be used without getting spoit for 10-15 days.
