Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 40 gm Sugar
- 1 Tbsp Fennel Seeds
- 1/2 tsp Ginger ground
Wet Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp Desiccated Coconut
- 10 Raisins soaked
- Ghee ghee, for frying
- 10 Cashews or almonds, roughly chopped
Garnish & Assembly
- 4 Coconut Pieces cut lengthwise, fresh
- Coins for decoration
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, fennel seeds, and ground ginger.
- Add the desiccated coconut and soaked raisins to the dry ingredients. Mix well.
- Incorporate the chopped cashews or almonds. Using your hands, rub the mixture together for a minute or two. This helps release some of the oils from the nuts and distribute the ingredients evenly.
- Gradually add water to the mixture, mixing until a stiff dough forms. Kneading the dough until just combined prevents it from becoming tough.
- Cover the dough and let it rest for 10 minutes. This allows the gluten to relax, resulting in a softer texture.
- Lightly grease your hands with ghee. Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each portion into a thick, round disc.
- Place the lengthwise coconut pieces in a crisscross pattern on top of each Susroot disc.
- Heat clarified butter (ghee) in a wide pan over medium heat. Shallow fry each Susroot, pouring hot ghee over the top with a ladle as it cooks. This basting technique ensures even cooking and a beautiful golden color.
- Once the underside is golden brown (about 5-7 minutes), carefully flip the Susroot and cook for another 2 minutes. The second side cooks quicker, so keep a close eye to prevent burning.
- Remove the Susroot from the pan and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess ghee.
- Let the Susroot cool slightly before decorating the corners with coins.
- Store leftover Susroot in an airtight container to maintain its freshness.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For extra crunch and flavor, lightly toast the coconut, cashews, and fennel seeds before mixing them into the dough.
- If you prefer a softer interior with a crisp exterior, roll the dough slightly thicker and cook on moderate heat, allowing the flatbread to puff gently.
- To enhance the festive aroma, sprinkle a little saffron or cardamom powder into the dough along with the ginger powder.
Expert Tips
- For a savory variation, omit the sugar and add a pinch of salt and finely chopped herbs like cilantro or mint to the dough.
- If you don't have fresh ginger, substitute with ½ teaspoon of ground ginger. Adjust to taste.
Storage Instructions
- Susroot keeps well for several days; store in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain its crunch, making it ideal for gifting or serving at gatherings.
