Miracle of desi ghee and jaggery… Why did this churma of Haryana become everyone’s favourite? know

It is said…taste resides in the soil of Haryana too…and the famous churma here proves this to be true. Be it children or adults, hearing its name makes the mouth water. If you eat it once, you will definitely feel like eating it again and again.

Churma as a sweet after meal is considered the pride of Haryana. Both its aroma and taste win hearts. Churma of Rajasthan and Bihar is also famous in its place, but the special aroma and richness of desi ghee that Haryana people add to it, makes it different from other places and extremely delicious.

To make this churma, only a few simple ingredients are required – 1 cup wheat flour, 6 tablespoons desi ghee, 3 tablespoons powdered sugar or jaggery and a little water. All these things are easily available in the kitchen of every house.

First of all, mix one tablespoon of desi ghee in the flour and add water little by little and knead a stiff dough. Keep in mind that the dough should not be soft. The harder the dough, the crispier and tastier the churma will be.

Now make small balls of dough and roll them like chapatti. Fry them well on a pan on medium flame till they turn golden brown and get a crisp texture like biscuits. This process creates the real base of churma, which gives it excellent taste and texture.

Take out the roasted chapattis in a plate and break them into small pieces. Now add 2–3 tablespoons of desi ghee and powdered sugar or jaggery and mix well. That’s it, your wonderful Haryanvi Churma is ready, full of aroma and completely desi in taste.

If you use a pan with a thick bottom, the churma will be even better and crispier. It can be stored comfortably for 2-3 days by filling it in an airtight container. Be it a festive occasion or an everyday meal, Haryanvi Churma wins hearts every time.
