    Chiroti recipe with step by step pictures. Pathir pheni recipe or Padhir Peni made with flour which is rolled into a pinwheel. This is fried till crispy and soaked in sugar syrup.

     
     

    Chiroti Recipe

    This sweet has lots of layer and turned out so crispy. I used some flour to make the dough bind together. I used sugar syrup the dip this in, but you could dust it with powdered sugar and serve it. This pheni is served traditionally along with some badam milk. You can find the recipe of that right here. I just served it with plain milk.

    How to Make Chiroti Recipe (Pathir Pheni)

    Make Dough:

    Take flour,  rawa, salt, baking powder, sugar in a mixing bowl.  Add ghee and rub together with your hands.Add water and make into a stiff dough. Cover it and let it rest for 30 mins.

    Shaping Chiroti (Padhir Peni)

    Mean while take 3 tbsp of ghee and rice flour in a bowl and make into a paste.

    Now divide the dough into 6 equal portions and start rolling to a thin circle.Take one circle in the front of you and apply the rice flour paste over that. Put another one circle on top of that and spread  the paste again. Continue this until you have finished the process. Apply the rice flour paste on the top of the circle and start rolling to a tight log.

    Frying Chiroti

    Cut out the edges and cut the log into equal parts. Take one part in front of you and start rolling to a thick circle.Heat oil for deep frying and fry this in hot oil till cooked and light golden. Remove it to a paper towel.

    Sugar Syrup for Chiroti

    Mean while make the sugar syrup by heating sugar and water along with cardamom pods till it reaches one string consistency. If you dip the spoon in the syrup and take out..the last drop falling from the spoon should form a string.

    Serving

    Now dip the fried pathir pheni in this sugar syrup and take it out to a wire rack. After it is cooled completely garnish it with crushed cashews and serve along with milk or badam milk.
