Ingredients

1 cup Ragi Flour
1/4 cup Jaggery
1/4 tbsp Fennel seeds
1/8 cup Ghee for moin
1/2 - 1 tbsp Coconut
Water to knead
Oil to fry

Instructions

In a bowl, add ragi flour and ghee.
Mix it well until the flour binds properly when you try to make a ball out of it. This step ensures the Thekua will be crumbly and soft.
Add jaggery, chopped coconut, and fennel seeds. Mix thoroughly.
Add water gradually and knead it into a soft dough.
Take small portions of the dough and make balls out of it.
Roll each ball and flatten it slightly to about 1/2 inch thickness. You can use your palm or fingers to press it down gently.
Make some design with the help of kitchen tools, or with the mould, if you have.
Heat oil or ghee in a pan over low flame.
Fry the flattened thekuas slowly until they turn golden brown and are cooked thoroughly from the inside.
The Thekuas are now ready to serve.
