How to make thekua for Chhath Puja

Take the wheat flour in a bowl and add 1 tablespoon of ghee.

Add the dry coconut, fennel seeds, crushed cardamom, and also dry fruits. Mix them well.

Make a sugar syrup using the water and the sugar.

The syrup should be thin, so boil the water only until the sugar is dissolved.

Add sugar syrup to the flour mixture and knead well.

Be careful not to make the dough watery. The mixture should just be firm enough to hold.

Make small balls out of the dough.

Grease your palms with ghee and take one of the balls. Flatten it a bit.

Make small discs out of the entire mixture and set aside.

You can also use moulds for this, and sprinkle a little granulated sugar on top.

Now, heat the ghee in a pan and fry the discs until they are golden brown, or a shade darker.

Your thekuas are ready.
