Churma Recipe

Churma is a Rajasthani delicacy made from ground deep fried wheat flour dumplings mixed with sugar. Churma is popularly enjoyed with a traditional Rajasthani meal of Dal & Baati and provides great contrast with its sweet flavor to the whole dish. It is a sweet dish made by coarsely grinding deep fried whole wheat flour dumplings along with sugar. It has a slightly coarse texture and emits the mouthwatering aroma of whole wheat flour roasted in desi ghee. Optionally, dry fruits like almonds and cashews can also be added to enhance the flavor of this dish.
