Ingredients:
For Suji Pua:
- 1 cup semolina (suji)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (maida)
- 1/2 cup grated coconut
- 1/2 cup mashed ripe banana
- 1/2 cup jaggery, grated or finely chopped
- 1/4 cup milk

- A pinch of baking soda (optional)
- Oil for deep frying
For Sugar Syrup:
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup jaggery
- 1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
Cooking Steps:
Step 1: Prepare Suji Pua Batter
- In a mixing bowl, combine semolina, all-purpose flour, grated coconut, mashed banana, grated jaggery, fennel seeds, and milk.
- Mix well to form a thick batter. Add a pinch of baking soda if desired.
Step 2: Rest the Batter
- Allow the batter to rest for about 15-20 minutes. This helps the semolina to absorb the moisture.
Step 3: Make Sugar Syrup
- In a saucepan, heat water and jaggery over medium heat until the jaggery dissolves.
- Add fennel seeds to the syrup, and let it simmer for a few minutes. Remove from heat.
Step 4: Fry Suji Pua
- Heat oil in a deep pan for frying.
- Once the oil is hot, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the oil. Fry until the pua turns golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the fried pua from the oil and drain excess oil on paper towels.
Step 5: Soak in Sugar Syrup
- Dip the fried suji pua into the prepared warm jaggery syrup, ensuring they are well coated.
- Let them soak for a few minutes to absorb the sweetness.
Step 6: Serve
- Remove the suji pua from the syrup and place them on a serving plate.
- Optionally, garnish with additional grated coconut or chopped nuts.
Step 7: Enjoy Serve these delicious Suji Pua Pithas as a sweet treat during festivals or special occasions. The combination of crispy texture, aromatic fennel seeds, and the sweetness of jaggery makes them a delightful indulgence.
