Welcome to My Ginger Garlic Kitchen, your destination for delicious, authentic Rajasthani recipes. Today, we’re going to walk you through the process of making the most loved dish of Rajasthan – Gulab Ka Churma, also known as Rose Choorma. This sweet and aromatic dessert is a staple in Rajasthani cuisine and is perfect for special occasions or for satisfying your sweet tooth.
Ingredients:
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup ghee
1 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup rose petals
1/4 cup almonds, chopped
1/4 cup pistachios, chopped
1/4 cup cashews, chopped
1/4 cup melon seeds
1/4 tsp cardamom powder
1/4 cup rose water
Ghee for frying
Recipe:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and ghee. Rub the mixture between your palms to incorporate the ghee into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs.
Add just enough water to the flour mixture to form a stiff dough. Divide the dough into small lemon-sized balls and flatten them slightly between your palms.
Heat ghee in a deep pan and fry the dough balls over low heat until they are golden brown and crispy. Drain the fried balls on a kitchen towel to remove excess ghee.
Allow the fried balls to cool completely, then grind them into a coarse powder using a food processor or a mortal and pestle.
Transfer the powdered mixture into a large mixing bowl and add powdered sugar, rose petals, chopped almonds, pistachios, cashews, and melon seeds. Mix everything together until well combined.
Finally, add cardamom powder and rose water to the mixture and mix well.
Your Rajasthani Gulab Ka Churma, or Rose Choorma, is ready to be served. Enjoy it with a glass of warm milk or as a sweet ending to your Rajasthani meal.
