KOKIS

It's Avurudhu and what is more special than to make some kokis and other sweetmeats to start off this special day with?

When my grandma came to visit me, I got hold of her and got this recipe from her and tried it. Now it's my turn to share it with Ya'll. Lets now look at the ingredients..Shall we?😉

Yields: 75 kokis

Time: 30 mins

INGREDIENTS:

• 500 gms- Flour (All purpose)
• 1 Egg
• 1/4 tsp Turmeric powder
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1 tbsp Sesame seeds (black)[wash and sieve to get rid of stones]
• 5 tbsp White Sugar
• Coconut Milk to knead (around 4 and 1/2 cups)
• Oil for frying

METHOD:

1. In a medium sized bowl mix all dry ingredients with coconut milk and make sure its free of any lumps.Set aside. 
2. Heat oil in a pot, once heated dip the kokis mold in hot oil for a few seconds (this will make the kokis easy to remove from the mold).
3. Next, dip the mold around 3/4 of it in the kokis batter & hold it in oil for around 2 mins.
4. Then using a stick carefully remove from the mold and let it fry until golden brown.
5. Repeat process and fry the others by mixing the batter now and then without allowing the flour to settle in the bottom of the bowl.
6. Enjoy!!

Notes-

⥤ Dip the batter around 3/4 of the mold or it will be difficult to remove the kokis.

⥤ You can store the batter in the refrigerator for a day and fry them, but mixing the batter first.

⥤ If  you feel that the kokis are thick you can add more coconut milk but make sure that the batter is not soo thin.

⥤ Adding too much sugar will burn the kokis so, make sure not to add more.

⥤Add white sugar instead of brown to get golden color kokis.

I gladly appreciate your feed back. Wish You all a very Happy New Year!!!
