Morkoo is an Indian favourite and yet people are so shy when they put in on their Diwali plates. I piece for an entire household.

Here again I thought this recipe would be a complicated one. It isn’t. And the morkoo machine if I could find one in a dorp like PE then you can find one anywhere in the world.

The only problem I had was going round and round with the machine. But I think it was just nerves and I kept trying to look at the machine from the bottom while turning from the top.

Ingredients:

• 3 ½ x cups tap water.
• 1 x tsp sesame seeds.
• 2 x tsp jeera seeds.
• 3 ½ x cups maize flour.
• 1 x cup chana flour.
• 3 x tsp salt.
• 1 x tsp baking powder.
• Morkoo machine

Method:

• Boil together that water, the sesame seeds and the jeera seeds.
• In a bowl sieve together the maize flour, the chana flour, salt and the baking powder.
• Remove the boiling water mixture from the heat and pour into the flour mixture.
• Mix with a spoon and bring the ingredients together to form a dough.
• Knead in the bowl with your hands and allow to cool.
• Put the mixture into your morkoo machine and turn out morkoo.
• Fry in hot oil.
