Quick Tips

• Use the proper ratio of all purpose flour and semolina otherwise, the tikiya may break.
• The quality of good tikiya depends upon the dough. If it's extremely hard then you will get hard tikiya. If the dough is soft then the tikiya may break. Make sure the dough should be firm (a little hard) to get best result.
• Ghee can be used on place of butter.
• To make it tastier, use desiccated coconut.
• To stand out, try different shapes using cookies cutter.
• Never fry tikiya on high flame.

How to Store

You can make it in bulk and store it in an airtight glass container for about 15 days. Keep it at a cool place or temperature less than 30 degrees. Don't forget to seal the container right after use otherwise it will be soggy due to atmospheric temperature.

Best to serve as a snack with tea or coffee.
