Description

Cooking Time

Preparation Time :20 Min

Cook Time : 30 Min

Total Time : 50 Min

Ingredients

Serves : 25
  • 1 cup rice flour(newly harvested rice gives better flavour)


  • 1 cup freshly grated Coconut


  • 3/4 cup Sugar


  • 1 teaspoon Ghee


  • 2 cup Vegetable oil to deep fry

Directions

  • In a pan dry roast rice flour in medium heat until roasted flavour emits.Be careful not to change colour of the flour much.
  • Add 1 cup of grated coconut and roast in slow heat for about 6-7 minutes.
  • Add sugar and ghee to the pan and stir continuously.
  • Roast until sugar dissolves and the mixture becomes crumbly and sticky, for about 5-6 minutes. Sprinkle 1 or 2 teaspoon of water if you think that mixture is not sticky.
  • Remove from heat, let it cool for 3-4 minutes.
  • Make small patties out of the mixture and make biscuit like coins with the help of your hand.
  • You can make any shape but be careful that the nuggets should be little thick (about 1/2 inch).
  • I gave them heart shape with a cookie cutter. Traditionally they are made in triangle shape.
  • Make all the Hingair or nuggets and keep in a plate.
  • In medium heat oil drop 2-3 nuggets at a time and reduce the flame.
  • Fry them until light golden brown in low heat.
  • Fry them all in batches.
  • They are little crunchy from outside and soft from inside. Tastes best with a cup of tea.
