to taste

: 1 cup
For

Avalos podi : 2 cup
Sugar
: 1 1/4 cup
Water : 1/2 cup
Lemon juice : 1 1/2 tbsp
Method of
preparation
For
making madaku
- Mix the rice flour and salt and make a smooth dough using water.
- Keep aside for 10 minutes to become soft and fluffy.
- Form the dough into smooth round balls and roll into a wafer thin round
- Dust the rounds with flour on one side only ; so that the pastry does not dry out.
- Lightly cook the pastry rounds on a medium hot griddle for just 30 secs on one side.
- Keep the cooked pastry rounds in a banana leaf as you prepare the filling to keep it soft and pliable.
For
making the filling
- In a deep pan, bring water to a boil and add the sugar, stirring until it dissolves.
- Cook the syrup until it reaches 1 thread consistency, then add lemon juice.
- Keep aside 2 teaspoons of sugar syrup and add avalos podi to the rest of the syrup and mix well.
- Cut each round of pastry in half and wet the edges of each half with the reserved sugar syrup.
- Shape each semi-circle into a cone with dry side facing inside, laeving one end of the pastry free to close.
- Stuff each cone with 1 tablespoon of filling. Cover the tops and seal the edges.
- Keep aside for 2 hours until the syrup from the filling has moistened and seeped into the pastry.
* Note
It is easier to
make the churuttu if the madaku and the
filling are still warm. Lemon
juice will prevent the crystallization
of sugar, which is important for this dish. Do not refrigerate the churuttu as
it will destroy the texture of the snack.
