Introduction
Chirote Recipe, The dish that is the subject of my most recent YouTube video, delivers the enchantment of flaky, stacked Maharashtrian pastry straight into your home. I’ll walk you through the process in this post so you can make this festive treat with ease, style, and that distinctive crunch.
Ingredients – Chirote Recipe
Two cups of maida, or all-purpose flour
One-sixth cup of optional semolina (for texture)
A pinch of salt
An additional ¼ cup of ghee (clarified butter) for layering
Water as required to create a firm dough
Ghee or oil for deep-frying
Sugar powder, for dusting
Rose-cardamom syrup for glazing is optional, according to the Ministry of Curry.
Method of Preparation – Chirote Recipe
- Prepare the dough: Crumble together flour, ghee, salt, and semolina (if using). Add water gradually while kneading to create a smooth, solid dough. Get at least 30 minutes of rest.
- Get the ghee paste ready: In some recipes, “sata” refers to a spreadable paste that is made by blending ghee with a small amount of flour (or cornflour) to be used between sheets.
- Divide the dough into sections, then layer and roll. Spread a small layer of ghee paste on each, roll into thin discs, stack, coil into a tight log, cut into pieces, and then flatten each slice into discs.
- Fry till golden and flaky: Heat oil/ghee on medium heat and fry the discs until golden and crisp. Use paper towels to drain.
- Finish: While still warm, liberally dust with powdered sugar. For an aromatic touch, dip in rose-cardamom syrup. recipe is all done.

Tips for Perfect Chirote
The dough develops flakiness when it is rested.
When frying, use moderate heat to make sure the layers bubble up without burning.
Give each chirote space to cook evenly in the frying pan rather than packing it too full.
Syrup provides taste, and powdered sugar creates a gorgeously crisp finish.
Serving Suggestions – Chirote Recipe
For that traditional festive combination, serve warm with a cup of chai or sweetened milk (badam milk) (connected internally to your site’s recipe for badam milk or a tea-based content).
For crunch and color, add crushed almonds or pistachios.
Storage & Reheating
