  1. Loukoumades - The Greek Dessert Balls It’s celebration time again for the gourmet circle in Mumbai, with the arrival of famous honey balls from Greece. Yes, you have got it right - the name is Loukoumades, the traditional donut dessert that has been part of their history for millennia. You will find them virtually everywhere in Greece. Lu-ku-ma-teh, as they are commonly pronounced, are among the most popular street foods that are served warm, soaked in honey syrup with an occasional sprinkling of cinnamon, walnuts, and toasted sesame.

  2. In Greece, they have traditional ways to prepare loukoumades. The dough mixing has a special method and is prepared fresh daily. There can be a variety of fillings, such as chocolate praline, banana cream, etc. and toppings of honey, white or milk chocolate, agave syrup, and the like. But drizzling it with delicious honey syrup is the most traditional way of serving loukoumades. Preparing Loukoumades At Home 1. MAKING THE LOUKOUMADES MIX Making the right dough mix is the main challenge in preparing your loukoumades dishes. You have two options at hand: 1. Using loukoumades premix from Harsha Enterprises that helps you prepare the perfectly crispy and tasty donut balls in a quick and hassle-free way. Click here to learn more. 2. Try out making the dough mix using the below instruction - Take 250 gm. of bread flour in a bowl and pour 1 cup of water (or a mix of milk and water) onto it. Also, add some amount of yeast and

  3. sugar to it. Now start stirring and mixing them using your hands, adding a little salt on the halfway and continue until the loukoumades mix is well raised. Finally, you need to divide the mix into a number of small but equal amounts and make balls out of them. 2. MAKING OF THE HONEY SYRUP Before you start frying your donut balls your honey syrup should be ready so that you can serve them hot. Pour a half cup of honey and a half cup of water in a small pot and stir it over medium heat until the honey melts well in the water to give way to form the syrup. Turn off the heat and cover the pot with a lid.

  4. 3. FRYING DONUT BALLS Traditionally sesame oil is used to prepare loukoumades. Pour 1 ltr. of sesame oil into a deep frying pot and bring it to 170 - 177 degree C. Maintaining this temperature is critical to cook the honey puffs to perfection. At this point, drop the balls into the oil carefully and deep fry them until they become nicely golden outside and well cooked inside. Finally, dry the loukoumades balls by wrapping them with paper towels before dripping honey syrup on them for a couple of minutes. 4.SERVING Place the hot honey puffs on a plate and drizzle them with the rest of the honey syrup before sprinkling some cinnamon powder on to them. You can also use other toppings such as sesame seeds and chopped walnuts. We can make various types of waffles by adding Harsha Enterprise’s premixes, please check out the varieties of waffle premixes on Harsha Enterprises or dial +91-9326584628 for inquiry.
