Ingredients

A typical lobongo lotika is made of maida, khoya, nutmeg powder, grated coconut, ghee, nuts, raisins, cardamom, cloves, and sugar ingredients.[4]

Preparation

Lobongo lotika consists of filling, dough, and sugar syrup. The dough is rolled out first and then the filling is placed in the center. The dough is then folded to enclose the filling completely and cloves are pressed over it to ensure that the fold doesn't open up while preparing. Then it's cooked in hot ghee until golden brown and crispy. Lastly, it is placed in sugar syrup to cool down and absorb the syrup[5][6]

Dough

The dough is prepared in maida with water and ghee until the desired consistency is reached.

Sugar syrup

Sugar syrup is a mixture of sugar and water, prepared by adding sugar to boiling water and stirring as to prevent burning. This continues until the mixture reaches a thick consistency.

Filling

The filling is a mixture of khoya, sugar, and grated coconut. These are to be cooked and adorned with dried fruits and nutmeg.
