Depalu for Diwali

Ingredients:

All purpose flour: 2 cups

Salt: 1/2 cup

Warm water: 1/2 cup

Food color: Few drops

Method:

Knead mixture. This mixture will be crumbly so you will have to add some water, but only add 1 tablespoon at a time.

The perfect texture is thick & pliable, but is not sticky. If it is too sticky, just add a touch of flour. Once it feels like cookie dough, you have the texture that you want, knead for 5 minutes.
Roll out your creations.
Bake in oven at 350F for about 10 minutes. Test & bake more if necessary.
If you have the climate & the time, creations can be left to 'air dry'.

Dried/cooked creations can be glittered and/or painted with acrylic paint.
