How to Make Crispy Rose Cookie

I remembered vividly when my mom took me and my brother to our Indian neighbor’s house for celelbrating Deepavali, we had enjoyed munching one of the cookies which they had shared with us.

 

I didn’t know the name of the cookie, but it was flower shape with many holes that look alike a beehive.

 

We called it “Flower Bee Cookie” because it does appear as the name we had created.

 

Every year when the festival of Deepavali is around the corner, if you are residing in Asian country, you may not missed these “Flower Bee Cookie” which is originally known as ROSE COOKIE sold in the market.

 

They are sold in tall plastic containers, stacked up to the brim, brownish and crispy that look so good to munch on.

 

Nowadays, ROSE COOKIES are sold with different additions. You can buy ROSE COOKIES coated with black sesame seeds, white sesame seeds and green tea flavor too.

 

 

 

The origin of ROSE COOKIE

This sweet flavor cookies which are fried to crisp were originally found in South India.

 

Rose cookies are known as Acchu Murukku in Tamil, which is locally known as “Rose Muruku” due to the resemble of the shape of rose flower.

Method of making Rose Cookie

 

  • Extract 1 /4 fresh coconut milk with 200ml of water. Squeeze the grated coconut through a sieve.
  • Alternatively, you can buy 1 packet of coconut powder, mix with 200ml of warm milk but it won’t taste as sweet and aromatic as fresh coconut milk.
  • Sieve npth types of flour into a large bowl, add sugar and mix well.
  • Make a well in the centre, drop in the egg and half of the coconut milk. Mix to get a smooth batter.
  • Add the remaining coconut milk, beat the batter for 10min and let it rest for 30min.
  • Heat the oil in the wok for deep frying. Heat up the rose mould by dipping into the oil.
  • When both the oil and mould are hot ( smoke developing ), lift up the mould , shake away excess oil and dip into the batter until it almost reaches the top of the mould.
  • The mould should be evenly coated with a thin layer of batter.
  • Hold the mould in the hot oil and shake gently when the batter browns and hardens, so that it comes away from the mould easily.

    • The cookie is one of the best cookies made on Deepavali by our Hindu families I think it is their national dish yea it looks like a pick rose but I do not know its taste. Actually is Anglo Indian cookie but is famous among the Indian during Deepavali festival and among the Christians during Christmas. It is made on the pattern on the Christmas fruit cake.

      I think it will be delicious in taste.
