Ingredients

  • 1 cup  wheat flour used for making chappatis
  • 4/5 cup ghee clarified butter
  • 1 cup granular sugar unrefined sugar like demerara sugar
  • 4 cups water

Instructions

  • In a pan bring the water and sugar to boil about three to four times and then set it on low heat.
  • While the water is boiling,  set another wide-mouth pan on low heat and add the ghee. Once the ghee has melted, add the flour.
  • Keeping the heat low, keep on continuously stirring the flour and ghee so that the flour doesn't get burned.
  • After about 15 minutes of cooking and stirring, the flour would change colour to golden and become fragrant.
  • Now add the sugared water slowly to the pan while continuously stirring the flour. If it's not stirred continuously, the flour will stick together.
  • Once you have added all the water, you should have a smooth mixture. Remove it from heat and serve it hot.

Notes

You can also add almonds and raisins but the recipe I have shared is for the karah served in the gurudwaras. Enjoy!
