Nevries
Nevries
Ingredients
- 4 kg. maida
- ½ kg. ghee (melted)
- Salt to taste
Filling
- 5 coconuts, grated (or equivalent dessicated coconut)
- 1 kg. fine rawa
- ¼ kg. cashewnuts
- ¼ kg. raisins
- ½ kg. til
- 100 gms. poppy seeds (optional)
- 1 kg. sugar
- 2 tsp. vanilla essence
- Oil for frying
Method
- Knead the maida with ghee and salt to a soft dough with water.
- Cover with a damp cloth and keep aside.
- Roast the ingredients for the filling, each separately, and mix with sugar. Allow to cool.
- Take a large lemon size ball of dough, roll thinly on a floured surface and cut in 2” diameter circles.
- Put a spoonful of filling in the center, moisten the edges and gently fold over the filling to form a semi-circle.
- Press the edges to seal. Make designs on the edges with a fork or cutter.
- Heat oil on medium flame. When hot, lower the flame and deep fry the nevries till light brown on both sides.
- Cool and store in airtight container.
I used 1/2 kg. flour and kneaded with 2 tbsp. ghee, salt and water. Got approximately 45 to 50 nevries.
For 50 nevries, make filling of 1 cup desicated coconut, 1/2 to 1 cup rawa, 1 cup sesame seeds, 1 cup broken cashewnuts, 1 cup raisins, each roasted separately then mixed it together with 1 to 1 1/2cup sugar and 1 tsp. vanilla essence. Following though is double the quantity.
