Gulgule are an intrinsic part of the iftar in UP. Earlier, they were made every time the aata would turn khameer. Now a pinch of baking soda is added to do the trick š *Ingredients*:
Wheat flour ā 1 cup
Sugar ā 1/3 cup (this can vary depending on the sweetness required)
Baking soda ā a pinch
Fennel seeds (saunf) ā 3 teaspoon
Coconut- 3 teaspoon (preferabbly cut, else it can be grated too)
*Recipe*
Mix all the ingredients with water (enough water to make a thick batter) and let it rest for about 5-6 hours so that the batter rises.
Deep fry the gulgule in hot ghee
