Sweet Pretzels Recipe - Bhonge Ladoo

Step 1: To begin making the Sweet Pretzels Recipe, prepare the dough for the pretzels first

Step 2: In a big mixing bowl, add the wheat bran, about 4 teaspoons of cooking oil, and salt

Step 3: Add about 1/3 cup of water (add little by little), prepare a tight and pliable dough, kneading well for about 4 to 5 minutes

Step 4: Keep this dough aside for 30 minutes, brushed lightly with oiled fingers

Step 5: Cover the dough with a moist cloth or plate while it is resting

Step 6: Take small portions of dough and roll them in about 5 inch long cylindrical shapes

Step 7: Give it desired shape (here I have given pretzels type shape)

Step 8: Keep these pretzels in open plate for roughly one hour

Step 9: (You can also keep it in sun)Heat sufficient cooking oil in a kadai; once it is hot, add each pretzel carefully and fry in batches till they crisp up

Step 10: *For Jaggery Syrup:Lightly toast 2 table spoons of that extra wheat bran for some time in a pan

Step 11: Keep aside

Step 12: Lightly toast sesame seeds till browning a bit and keep aside

Step 13: Make syrup by boiling together 1 cup of Jaggery and 1 cup of water for 8-10 minutes

Step 14: After a while when the syrup is still warm, add toasted wheat bran and sesame seeds to it

Step 15: Mix well

Step 16: This thickens the syrup a bit

Step 17: *For Assembling:Assemble the fried pretzels in shallow container

Step 18: Pour jaggery syrup over it and let it sit in it for 2-3 hours

Step 19: This makes the pretzels soak the syrup and make them nice and sweet

Step 20: Garnish with more toasted sesame seeds before serving
