Happy Makar Sankranti to all my blogger friends and readers. This is a sweet dish made from wheat flour and consists no oil, no ghee. Its healthy and filling. It's very old and authentic dish from Karnataka & Maharashtra.

Ingredients for dough:

• 1 cup Wheat flour (chapati hittu/atta)
• 1/2 cup Besan 
• 2 tsp Rice flour
• Little salt

Other ingredients:

• Jaggery as per taste
• Cardamom seed powder
• 2-3 tsp Daliya/ Putane (dry roasted)
• 2-3 tsp Dry coconut (dry roasted)
• 1-2 tsp Sounf / Aniseed (dry roasted)
• Dry fruits -Cashewnuts, Raisins.(optional)

Method:

    Mix the wheat flour, besan, rice flour, salt and knead the dough.(not too soft dough). Immediately start rolling like chapati but no folds,just a big circle and little thicker then normal chapti. Dry roast on tava both the side. Let them sit for a while.

Make small pieces chapti and put into mixer and make coarse powder. In a bowl add above made coarse wheat flour, add jaggery, cardamom powder, daliya/putane, sounf / aniseed and dry fruits. Give an nice mix to it.

Serve with ghee or with warm milk.

Notes:
