How to prepare Malabari Fried Cone?
1. Add oil to maida, followed by salt and water.
2. Knead the dough and allow it to rest for half an hour.
3. Spread a little maida or flour on a plain surface and spread the dough thin.
4. Cut them into lengthy pieces with ¼ inch (like ribbons).
5. Take 6 aluminium cones and grease their outer surface.
6. From the pointed edge towards the outer edge, wrap it using maida ribbon pieces in a circular pattern. Aluminium should not be visible from outside.
7. Heat oil in a pan enough to completely immerse the cones.
8. Fry 2 or 3 cones at a time. Using a spatula, make sure that all sides are fried evenly.
9. When it’s well fried, the cone shape separates from the aluminium.
10. When the cone turns golden brown, take it from the oil.
11. In case cones fail to separate from aluminium, extract it from oil as such and allow it to cool.
12. Manually, you can separate the cone. But never break the cone.
13. When it cools, you can store it in air-tight containers.
14. When you want to prepare a snack, you can use this cone.
15. Fill it with some filling of your choice and enjoy.
16. You can use samosa or sandwich filling, and also grated coconut with sugar if you want a sweet cone.
Note: You can purchase aluminium cones from shops.
