For the pastry

All purpose flour

ghee or melted unsalted butter

Approx. warm whole milk

the stuffing

Semolina

desiccated coconut

Mawa

white poppy seeds

caster sugar

coarsely crushed almonds, cashews and pistachios

finely ground cardamom seeds

tspfreshly grated nutmeg

tspsaffron, lightly crushed

ghee or oil for deep frying

To make the pastry, mix the flour and ghee, adding milk a little at a time to make a semi-stiff dough. Cover and set aside.

step 1

To make the stuffing, heat the ghee in a frying pan and toast the semolina until light brown and aromatic. Remove and set aside.

step 2

In the same pan, repeat the process separately with coconut and poppy seeds, toasting them until very pale pink. Remove and set aside. Be careful not to burn the semolina, coconut or poppy seeds, and cool them thoroughly at room temperature.

step 3

Mix the semolina with coconut, poppy seeds, mawa, caster sugar, crushed nuts, cardamom, nutmeg and saffron.

step 4

Divide the pastry into 20 balls about the size of a walnut. Roll out the balls into thin discs.

step 5

Place approximately 1-2 tablespoons of stuffing on one half of the pastry disc, and fold over the other half to make a crescent shape. Crimp the edges, twisting them slightly as you go. Alternatively, use a pastry cutter or a pastry mould. Make sure the ghughras are completely sealed so that no stuffing falls out.

step 6

step 7

Heat the ghee or oil until just below smoking point. Deep-fry the ghughras in batches on low to medium heat until light brown.

step 8

Drain on kitchen paper, and let them cool. Store in an airtight container where they will keep for around 2-3 weeks if there are any left!.

step 9

Better Butter
