    i have tried this out differently if you dont mind i can share the proportions
    1cup ghee/dalda, 1 cup sugar,1 cup water, 4 cups maida.. heat the water, ghee, sugar till warm n then make the dough using the maida.. can add more maida if needed to make a soft dough. the rest of the steps are the same .. this turns out crunchy on the outside n flaky on the inside.

    Dear Mullai, I really like your attitude.. You are so graceful in accepting mistakes.. I think the sugar granules we get in different countries are diff..and may be the one I get here becomes more watery.. I cant think of any other reason as u and also many more friends are getting it right. I think now it should be fine.

    Hi Mullai.. very sorry to say that for the first time one of your recipes has goofed up 🙁 I had proceeded exactly as per your measurements and found that the water+ sugar mixture was extra for the dough.. but i still proceeded with addind the half cup of water and the resultant dough was very sticky like a paste..so i added more and more maida till i got a pliable dough and proceeded with the remaining steps. Just now i have finished frying the biscuits and i have got perfect diamond shaped (not so sweet) pooris 😉 I still have more dough left and am planning to convert it into sweet stuffed parathas as i dont want to proceed further. Can you pl look into the recipe ? I have also noticed 2 other friends having the same problem. Sorry for pointing out and the intention is definitely not fault finding.. I have successfully tried out so many of your recipes.. May be this one needs little more clarification. 🙂

      Hi Sudha,

      Let me check.., few other friends also had the same problem, don't no what went wrong. Still I have the same old recipe… guess I had to try again. Nothing wrong in pointing out, glad you did. We all make mistakes and Iam no exception.. let me try again and update. Until then I shall make it (as required) in the recipe.

    Mullai, we tried this, but half cup of water along with sugar was more…….. for the maida.. so i was forced to add more maida…is water measurement correct?

    1. jayanthi

      Yes , I too faced the same problem…Mullai…any idea why it can happen like that though we followed the same measurement? I then added more maida…and then ran out of maida…and then added lit bit of rice flour and then made it and end result was good anyway….

      1. Mullai

        Jayanthi and VKVpinchat, the water measure is right and its 1/2 cup for 1 & 1/2 cup maida. I just used little maida for dusting while rolling out. Other than that everything is right as far as I know. Thanks.

    Error in first line..Instead of slightly warm the water you have mistyped it as slightly water the warm…change it..sorry to point it out..errors are common part of our life..genuises make small error in their work and that's the case with u..
