I am very glad that I have finally managed to create a blog for myself to post all the things that I try at my kitchen. This is the first recipe that I am going to post in my Just born blog :-). so if there is anything that isn't quite right, let me know in comments below, would be really glad to correct them.
Chippi is a traditional Sri Lankan snack. I loved this as a kid and always wanted to try myself. This time when my Mom is around and its the Tamil new year, i thought its the right time to make it, so both of us made it and my husband R loved it. here you go with the recipe to try it out at your kitchen!!
CHIPPI
Ingredients
To the dough
| Plain flour/Maida | 1 cup |
| Butter | 1tsp |
| Salt | To taste |
| Water | As required |
Oil
To make the sugar syrup
| Sugar | 3/4 cup |
| Water | 1/2 cup |
1. Put all the dough ingredients in a bowl and add enough water to make it to a smooth chappathi dough like ball.
2. Make hazelnut size small balls and flat them like a coin, then press them at the back of fork to make the the line impression. {Upload the detailed pictures very soon}
3. Cover the dough to prevent them from drying, if its dried, it will break while making the shapes.
4. If the first shaping is difficult, Roll it like chappathi and cut them to desired shape, either with a small bottle cap or soft drink bottle cap.
5. In a hot oil pan, Fry them until golden brown and crisp.
6. Dissolve the sugar in the water and bring to boil in a medium flame.
7. In about 4 mins, drop a little bit of sugar water in a cup of water and if the water remains like a string, then take that out of the flame, pour it over the fried chippies.
8. Keep shaking them until it coats well in all the chippies.
9. You can serve them hot or store them for about a week and njoy them. Taste great with a hot cuppa.
| Notes |
| You can be creative in making the shapes once you are comfortable with the above given one |
| Also can add cinnamon or vannila flavours in the sugar syrup alternatively |
| Very simple to make but the dough shouldn't dry during the making process |
