Ingredients for Making Pua

1 cup wheat flour

1/2 cup semolina (optional, for crispiness)

3/4 cup jaggery (or 1/2 cup sugar)

1 cup milk

2-3 small cardamom powder
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1-2 teaspoons grated coconut (optional)

Ghee or oil for frying

Method

To make grandma-style Pua for the special occasion of Holi, first take lukewarm milk in a vessel and dissolve the jaggery thoroughly in it. Make sure the jaggery is completely dissolved and free of lumps. Now add wheat flour (or refined flour) and a little semolina to it. Whisk the mixture well to prevent lumps.

The batter should be neither too thin nor too thick—its consistency should be like that of a pakora batter. Now add the fennel seeds and cardamom powder. If desired, you can also add some grated coconut to enhance the flavor.
