1

To begin making the Sweet Pretzels Recipe, prepare the dough for the pretzels first. In a big mixing bowl, add the wheat bran, about 4 teaspoons of cooking oil, and salt.

2

Add about 1/3 cup of water (add little by little), prepare a tight and pliable dough, kneading well for about 4 to 5 minutes.

3

Keep this dough aside for 30 minutes, brushed lightly with oiled fingers. Cover the dough with a moist cloth or plate while it is resting.

4

Take small portions of dough and roll them in about 5 inch long cylindrical shapes. Give it desired shape (here I have given pretzels type shape). Keep these pretzels in open plate for roughly one hour. (You can also keep it in sun)

5

Heat sufficient cooking oil in a kadai; once it is hot, add each pretzel carefully and fry in batches till they crisp up. 

*For Jaggery Syrup:

1

Lightly toast 2 table spoons of that extra wheat bran for some time in a pan. Keep aside.

2

Lightly toast sesame seeds till browning a bit and keep aside.

3

Make syrup by boiling together 1 cup of Jaggery and 1 cup of water for 8-10 minutes.

4

After a while when the syrup is still warm, add toasted wheat bran and sesame seeds to it. Mix well. This thickens the syrup a bit.

*For Assembling:

1

Assemble the fried pretzels in shallow container. Pour jaggery syrup over it and let it sit in it for 2-3 hours.This makes the pretzels soak the syrup and make them nice and sweet..

2

Garnish with more toasted sesame seeds before serving. Serve Sweet Pretzels Recipe or Bhonde Ladoo as a sweet evening snack with Masala Chai Recipe or as a dessert aftre your everyday meals.

Note: If you don't find wheat bran easily then simply sieve normal wheat flour and keep collecting bran that is left in sieve until you get desired quantity.
