Natorer Luchir Payesh (Milk Pudding With Fried Flatbread)

Steps

1. 1To begin making Natorer Luchir Payesh, add the flour to a bowl. Sprinkle in the salt, add the ghee. Mix well till the ghee is well incorporated into the flour.
2. 2Make a well in the flour, add 1/4 cup of warm water. Gently mix the water and flour and start kneading with your fingers. Gradually add more warm water as needed till the dough becomes firm but soft and pliable when rolled.
3. 3Cover with a wet or damp cloth for 10 minutes.
4. 4In another small bowl, crumble the kanchagolla. Keep aside.
5. 5Divide the dough into small balls, using a rolling pin, roll out each dough ball to a flat circle of about 3 inches in diameter.
6. 6Add 1.5 tsp of kanchagolla in the middle of a flattened circle, cover with another flattened circle and carefully press the edges together.
7. 7Use your fingers or a fork to crimp the dough along the edges. Repeat the same for the rest.
8. 8Heat oil in a deep-bottomed pan, deep fry till golden brown. Keep aside on a kitchen absorbent towel.
9. 9Pour the milk into a heavy bottomed saucepan, simmer over a low flame till the milk reduces to almost half in volume.
10. 10Once the milk has reduced, add the grated jaggery. Keep stirring until the jaggery has melted into the milk. (If you like it sweeter, feel free to indulge - add some more grated jaggery)
11. 11Gently add the kanchagolla stuffed luchis one by one into the milk.
12. 12Cook over a medium flame for about 5-7 mins. Carefully stir the milk a couple of times in between.
