Are you bored with Cakes and Cookies!!! if so just go a little Desi :) Peni is a simple fried Sweet that would tempt your tongue. Its all about putting your favorite ingredients together in a different form. :) Enjoy making :)

Ingredients: All purpose Flour(Maida) - Required quantity to make the Dough Powdered Sugar - 1 1/2 cup

Semolina(Rava) -2 tbsp

Salt- 1 pinch

Rice Flour 3 tbspMilk - 1 cup Ghee - 1 cup

Ground Cardamom 1/2 tsp Oil - For deep frying Method:

Mix the Sugar&ground Cardamom in a small bowl and set aside until ready to use.
Mix Flour, Semolina, 2 tbsp solidified Ghee and Salt in a mixing bowl. Rub the Ghee into the Flour and Semolina, so that the mixture resembles crumbs. Slowly add Water and knead it into a smooth Dough. Cover and set aside for at least 1 hour.
When ready to prepare Peni, mix the remaining 2 tbsp Ghee and Rice Flour in a bowl and keep aside.
Divide the dough into 3 equal portions. Roll each into a thin circle. Smear the Ghee-Rice flour mixture on top of the rolled out circle. Place another rolled out circle on top of the 1st circle. Repeat this rolling, smearing with Ghee-Rice flour mixture and layering with the remaining dough balls. Apply the Ghee mixture on the top circle.
Starting from one end, roll the layered circles like a carpet into a tight log. Tuck the ends securely.
Cut the log into 1" pieces. Roll each piece again into a circle and press lightly with your hand.
Heat Oil for deep frying. Fry each circle on low flame until done, taking care not to change the color of the Peni. Drain on Tissue Paper.
Sprinkle powdered Sugar and Cardamom on a top of Peni when it's warm, otherwise it will not stick to it.
