Gol Papdi

Ingredients:
1/2 cup whole wheat flour (gehun ka atta)
1/3 cup jaggery (gur), grated
1/2 teaspoon poppy seeds (khus-khus)
1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder (elaichi)
4 tablespoons ghee

Method:
Sprinkle the poppy seeds on a 100 mm. (4") diameter greased thali. Keep aside.
Combine the ghee and wheat flour in a glass bowl and microwave on HIGH for 3
minutes 30 seconds, till it turns golden brown in colour. Mix well.
Remove from the microwave and add the jaggery and cardamom powder while the
mixture is hot. Stir well till the jaggery melts.
Pour the mixture into the greased thali with poppy seeds while still warm and spread
it evenly with the help of the base of a small bowl (katori).
Cut into diamond shapes while still warm.
Store in an air-tight container when cool.

was searching for a microwave recipe for gol papdi. I had tried it manually but did not come out well. found it time consuming as well. This one turned out perfect. Just that i had to heat the mixture only for 1 min, 4 sec in my microwave. this is obvious as every microwave has some diff setting. Also, some prior experience does help ! Am glad that the gol papdi turned out well.
