Healthy Sweet Kadabu.

It was a usual walk back from school one day when my friend and me started talking about snacks which kids love and are healthy for them. This friend of mine told me about a recipe that she makes for her son and how he loves it. The best part about this desert recipe, is that it is easy to make, can be made from ingredients that are already at home, healthy, can be stored for few days and not to forget how delicious it is!
It was kind enough of her that the very next day she brought me some of these kadabus to taste. I liked the taste. I had to make it for my kids, I tried it and everyone at home liked it..
Wanted to share it with you all.

Ingredients:

To make the batter:

Whole wheat flour-1 cup.

Salt-1 pinch.

Water-to make a stiff batter.

For filling:

Dry shredded coconut-1/2 cup.

Almonds-1/2 cup.

Jaggery-1/2 cup.

Grind them to form a course mixture.

Oil to deep fry.

Method:

Mix the flour and water with a pinch of salt to make a stiff batter, same as chapati batter.

Grind all the filling ingredients into a coarse mixture by pulsing it in a mixer.

Heat oil in a heavy bottom pan.

Make big chapathies, then using a cookie cutter or any round lid cut them to round shapes.

To the centre of these rounds, add the filling and close then into half moon shaped kadabus.

Pinch the edges well so that the filling doesn't come out.

Deep fry them in oil till golden brown. Since it is whole wheat flour it may get a bit darker than golden brown to be crisp.

Once golden remove them and cool. Store them in a airtight container for few days and enjoy as a snack any time of the day. Kids especially love them when they come back from school.

Do try.
