Ingredients: 100 gm of flour, 2 pinches of salt, 2 teaspoon of sugar powder, 1 tablespoon of ghee
For the filling: 1 cup of cooked rice, ½ cup of sugar syrup, 3-4 saffron strands soaked in 1 tablespoon of lukewarm milk, cherries for garnishing.
Method: Sift together the flour, salt and sugar powder. Mix in the ghee and a little water and knead into a dough. Divide the dough into 7-8 portions. Roll out each dough into a small circle. Place each of these circles into a canapé or cooking mould. The size of your circle should be slightly bigger than the size of your mould. Bake the moulds in a preheated oven at 150 degree for 12 minutes or until light golden brown.
Alternatively you could buy ready-made canapé moulds.
For the filling – heat the sugar syrup and add the rice and saffron. Cook on low fire till the sugar syrup is fully absorbed into the rice. Fill the canapés with this rice and garnish with cherries and serve as a sweet dish.
