Ingredients:
1 lb. flour
1/4 cup shortening
1/4 cup butter
1/2 tsp. cinnamon powder
1 tsp. ginger powder
1 tsp. ginger
1/2 cup water to knead flour
1/2 cup sugar
Directions:
Sift the flour, add the cinnamon powder and ginger powder, and cut in the butter. Add the water gradually and mix to form a firm, but hard enough dough.
Cut the dough evenly. And roll into balls. Dust the surface with a little flour and roll out each. Roll until the dough is about 1/4" thick. Cut the rolled dough into strips (about 3" long strips).
Drop the first batch of strips in hot oil. Stir to ensure strips are covered with oil. Fry first on a low flame until crispy. Then raise the fire. Fry until golden brown and remove and place on napkins or brown paper.
Drop the grated ginger in 1/2 cup of boiled water. Add the sugar (about 1 cup of sugar). Stir ocassionally until a thick syrup is made. Pour syrup over kurma and mix quickly to glaze the kurma.
Set aside the kurma to cool before serving.
