Instructions
- To prepare Mamool, first of all we need to take a big bowl and add semolina in it.
- Now add the melted butter or ghee and oil in it and softly rub the butter and oil into the semolina mixture.
- Now cover this mixture with cling wrap and leave it for couple of hours.
- Now add dry ingredients in this mixture like milk powder, powdered sugar, salt, baking powder, nutmeg powder, all purpose flour and mix them well together.
- Now prepare yeast mixture, take bowl add 3 table spoon water, yeast and sugar in it and set aside until the surface of this mixture becomes foamy.
- Its time to add wet ingredients into dry ingredients, add rose water, yeast mixture, vanilla essense in to the semolina mixture and with the help of milk knead a soft dough.
- Cover this mixture atleast for 1 hour.
- We will use this gap to prepare filling, For dates filling, firstly remove seed from all dates and grind them until they turn into a paste. You can use this paste as it is, but to make it more flavourful, add some mix nuts in it.
- For pistachios filling take a bowl add minced pistachios in it and then add cardamom powder, 1.5 table spoon water and sugar in it and mix well together.
- For walnut filling Take a bowl add minced walnut in it and then sugar, 1.5 table spoon water then mix them all well together.
- To make the mamool we use a plastic mold, traditionally there is different kinds of molds for each filling. But you can also prepare them without using any mold or anything.
- Now take a lemon size ball from the dough and give it to the smooth round shape. Put it in the center of your palm and press slightly.
- Now add the 1 tea spoon of filling in the center of this flat dough ball. And then fold it up again to give it a ball shape again.(meanwhile preheat the oven )
- Now put the stuffed ball in the proper mold and press slightly to give it the shape.(like wise prepare all Mamool with all three fillings).
- Put the prepared Mamool in the cooking tray and bake them on 230℃ until they get colored or for about 15 minutes.
- After you bake them, coat them with powder sugar and serve with Kahwa or tea or coffee as your choice..
Notes
- If you are not having Mamool mold, to give it proper shape, no need to worry, you can decorate the stuffed ball with fork or knife or anything, because it is just a creativity.
