Recipe
1
Knead the whole wheat flour with a little ghee and warm water into a firm dough and let it rest for twenty minutes.
2
Divide the dough into small portions and shape them into traditional elongated seelu pieces.
3
Heat ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan and lightly fry the shaped seelu until golden brown on all sides.
4
In a separate pan, prepare the sweet and sour sauce by melting the jaggery with tamarind pulp, fennel seeds, dry ginger powder, and a splash of water.
5
Add the fried seelu into the simmering tangy jaggery syrup and coat them thoroughly.
6
Cover and cook on low heat until the sauce thickens and infuses completely into the seelu.

Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve warm alongside traditional pahadi chutney.
