Lavang Latika Recipe

• 2 cups Plain Flour (Maida)
• 2 cups Sugar
• 2 tbsp Semolina (Rava)
• 1 cup Coconut, grated
• ½ tsp Cardamom Powder
• ½ cup Milk
• ¼ tsp Salt
• ¼ tsp Nutmeg Powder
• Ghee (as required)
• 1 cup Water

• Take plain flour in a bowl and add salt and a tablespoon of ghee in it. Make firm dough by mixing it with water.
• Cover the dough with a damp cloth and keep it aside.
• Heat a pan and add 1 tablespoon of ghee in it. Fry the rawa in the ghee till it turns brown.
• Now, add coconut, milk and ¼ cup sugar in the rawa.
• Let the mixture cook on low heat. Keep stirring, until the mixture becomes thick.
• Put off the flame and add cardamom and nutmeg powder into it and mix well.
• Take a little portion of the dough and roll it out into a small puri.
• Put the already prepared mixture into this puri and close it like an envelope.
• Stick a clove at the centre, so that the latika does not open.
• Repeat the process with the rest of the dough.
• Take a big pan and heat enough ghee. Fry the latikas on medium flame till they turn golden brown. Keep the fried latikas aside.
• To make the sugar syrup, take water in a bowl. Heat it by adding ½ cup of sugar.
• Boil the syrup on low heat, till it reaches three-string consistency.
• Remove the bowl of syrup from the stove and add the already prepared latikas in it. Take out the latikas after sometime and allow them to cool.
• Enjoy the sweet Lavang Latikas.
