Method:
- Take two different deep frying pans - One with 4 cups oil and other one with 1/2 cup oil. Place the one with more oil on medium heat high, and the one with less oil on high heat. Immerse the rose cookie iron cast flower mould in the second pan with 1/2 cup hot oil.
- Now, take a mixing bowl and sift flour, rawa, salt, powdered sugar and eggs.
- Also add coconut milk in little quantity. Whisk the batter well.
- The batter shouldn't be too thick nor too thin. It should be like dosa batter. Add coconut milk as per the consistency. It should be pouring consistency but not thin.
- Now, remove the immersed iron mould from hot oil and dip half way in the batter and deep fry in hot oil. Now, shake the mould gently and the cookie will slide away. Fry only one or two at the time don't cluster with too many. Fry until crisp and light brown from both sides.
- Repeat the same with the rest of batter. Re-heat the iron mould into hot oil immerse in batter and then deep fry the cookie. Place cookies on absorbent napkins and allow them to come to room temperature.
