Ingredients

▢ Rice flour - 4 cups
▢ Sugar - 1.5 cups
▢ Milk - 1.5 cups
▢ Oil - To deep fry.

Instructions

▢
In a bowl, add rice flour, sugar, milk- one after the other. Mix well until the sugar melts. Note that lumps are not formed. Keep this mix aside for 4 hours to ferment.
▢
After 4 hours, grind this mixed paste in a grinder for 25 to 30 minutes to form a much smoother batter. Ensure that the consistency of the batter is medium and not too thick or thin.
▢
As soon as a string like consistency is obtained from the batter, transfer it into a deep bowl.
▢
Now, heat oil in a pan over a medium flame.
▢
Once the oil is hot, dip your clean hand into the batter. Drop the batter with your hand in anti-clockwise direction for 3 or 4 times such that the batter forms strings on the hot oil and a crepe is formed on hot oil.
▢
Fry till the color of the crepe/utanki is golden brown. Once the color changes into golden brown, remove the crepe from the oil and place it on an absorbent paper to drain excess oil (if any) .
▢
Immediately, roll them up with the help of a rolling pin so that the crepes harden up in that shape when cooled.
▢
These can be stored in an airtight container for a week or two .
