chhath puja thekua recipe: Thekua recipe without flour and sugar, healthy way for Chhath Puja.

First of all, let us know what is required to make this healthy Thekua. For this you need – two cups of wheat flour, one cup of grated jaggery (or jaggery solution), one-fourth cup of coconut shavings, two tablespoons of desi ghee, one teaspoon of fennel, a little cardamom powder and water as per requirement. If you wish, you can also add chopped dry fruits like almonds, cashews or raisins, which increase both taste and nutrition.

Now let’s talk about the method of making it.
– First of all, put grated jaggery and some water in a vessel and melt it on low flame.
– When the jaggery dissolves well, turn off the gas and let it cool.
– Now add wheat flour, coconut shavings, cardamom powder, fennel and desi ghee in a big vessel.
– Mix all this well so that the mixture feels slightly crunchy.
Then slowly add the jaggery solution and knead a soft but slightly tight dough.
– Keep in mind that the dough should neither be too hard nor too loose.
– Now make small balls from the dough and press them with hands to give them the shape of thekua.
– If you want, you can also use a traditional wooden mold to bring the design on it.
– Heat desi ghee or coconut oil in a pan and fry thekua on low flame.
– When they become golden brown and look crunchy all around, take them out and keep them on tissue paper to remove excess oil.
