Process of making dough for Dilpasand

 

In a bowl add 1 cup of all purpose flour, ¼ tsp salt, ½ tsp of baking powder (this will make the dilpasand very crispy and crunchy) and 1 tbsp of ghee (do not add oil otherwise the taste of dilpasand may be spoiled).  Now mix them well and knead by adding water little by little, remember the dough should be a little hard.  After making the dough, keep it covered for half an hour.

 

Process of making Stuffing

 

In a bowl take ½ cup of grated dry coconut, ¼ cup of tutti frutti, 1 tbsp of almond flakes, 1 tbsp of pistachio flakes, 1 tbsp of raisins, 4 small cardamoms (fresh cardamom has to be crushed) and 6 tbsp of sugar powder (you can add more or less as per your choice) and mix the whole mixture well.  After this, add 1 tbsp of ghee to this mixture and mix it well, in this way the stuffing will be ready.

 

Process of making Dilpasand

 

Mash the dough well and make two balls.  Make a ball big and a little smaller than that and round them and make a peda.  Now roll the small ball thin, remember to roll it thin and big.  After rolling it well, put 2 tsp of ghee in it and spread it all around.  After ghee, add 2 tsp of all purpose flour and spread it well all around.  Now roll the poori and make it the same length.  Then wrap the poori in a round shape and prepare a ball, by doing this layers are made in it.  Roll out the big ball in the same way and keep it in a round shape by wrapping it in a round shape.

 

Now take small poori and keep it in a plate by rolling it without making it too big.  Roll out the big one in the same way, but roll it a little bigger.  Place the stuffing on top of the big poori and set it in the middle of the circle.  After setting, cover the stuffing with small puri and close it well.  After doing this, put plates at a little distance from the remaining part of the big poori and close it by sticking it well.  After closing it well, give a round shape by pressing it with your hand.

 

Process of baking in a pan

 

For baking, grease a plate with a little ghee.  Put the Dilpasand on a plate with the closed side facing down and apply some ghee on top.  To bake, put salt in a big pan, so that the plate is kept well on it.  Adding salt maintains a uniform temperature in the pan, which makes it easier to bake.   When the pan is heated well, keep the plate directly on top of the salt and cover it.  Cook it on medium flame for 15-20 minutes.

 

Check it when the time is up, when it is golden brown from the bottom side, turn it over and cover it with a little ghee on both the sides and cook it for 15 minutes.  Turn off the gas after it turns golden brown from both the sides, delicious dilpasand will be ready.  Now take it out on a plate and serve it after it cools down slightly and enjoy its taste.
