Thor

Thor is a traditional Gujarati Sweet which is usually served as Prasad to Lord Krishna. It is the main Prasad offered at Nathdwara / Shreenathji in Rajasthan, India.
 This sweet is also made during Diwali and other such festivals. 

Ingredients:

•  1 cup of All- purpose flour (Maida)
• 2 tbsp Semolina
• ¼ cup Melted Ghee
• A little less than ¼ cup Warm Milk
• ½ cup + 2 tbsp Sugar
• ¼ cup Water                     
• 1 tbsp Milk
• Ghee or oil for frying 

Method: 

•  Mix flour and semolina in a bowl.
•  Now alternately add a tablespoon of ghee and milk each and prepare into dough. The dough should be a little stiff. Cover it with a  wrap and let it rest for about 1  hour at room temperature.
• Now take the rested dough and divide into 6 equal parts and using the pressure of your palms press it into a circular shape. Simultaneously keep heat the ghee or oil for frying. 
• Roll each ball a little thick. cut as many 1 1/2-inch stars using cookie cutter (or rounds) as you can & prick wih a fork. Deep fry in medium hot oil, on a low flame till bubbles stop completely. Remove & cool.
•  Let it rest for about 2 to 3 hours.
• Keep a non – stick pan to heat. Add in sugar and water to it. Once sugar starts to melt add in 1 tbsp of Milk and keep stirring. (Milk helps to remove impurities in sugar)
•  After a while you’ll see form/ dirt floating on surface of the syrup. Remove it carefully with a spoon and discard. You can also strain the syrup if desired.
• Keep cooking the syrup until it thickens up. You don’t have to caramelize the sugar so avoid burning it. Your syrup should be foamy and a little white in color. 
• Once done, deep each thors into it and generously coat on both sides.
• Rest the Thors side by side on a flat sheet for about 5 to 8 minutes. (You should not overlap them). Now refrigrate for about 15 to 20 mins till the sugar syrup is all set.
• Once set, keep the Thors on to a serving plate and enjoy.
