Shakkarpare/Sweet Nimki/Khaja

Shakkarpare /Sweet Nimki c                             Hello friends, Today I am going to share with you recipe of sweet nimki or shakkarpare .This recipe also I learnt from my mother in law. The market shakkarpare is made very thick but we prepare it like general nimkis and dip in sugar syrup.For making dough you can add butter,ghee or oil .My mom-in -law generally uses butter to make snacks so I used Amul butter to make this dish.You can use butter of any brand.You can also avoid pinch of salt when adding salty butter. It is generally said that little salt enhances the sweetness of any sweet dish.This recipe is simple and easy but you will need patience to fry nimkis in medium heat till brown and crisp.The sugar syrup must be 1 string or less than that but you should not put the nimkis in syrup as soon as sugar dissolves as the nimkis will not remain crisp in such case.It will become soggy a...
