Made these in the air fryer. I can't believe how great they were. Five minutes after completion all that is left is an argument between my children about who ate the last of it. 🤷‍♀️ Love this recipe!

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

Wow so happy it worked in the air fryer

Thank you!!

[@iLoveTurtlesHaha]

I use to help make these with my grandmother when I was a kid and I'd go and steal a bowl every day after school and literally eat until my jaw got tired. XD

[@Santituan]

I have always loved these, but never knew how to make them (or what they were called. I called them sweet sticks). Thank you. Also because of you I can now make delicious dhal filled roti. 😁It seems the Surinamese kitchen shares a lot of dishes with the Guyanese kitchen.

[@sweetindranie81]

Hi Matthew I never comment before but I always try your recipe... I'm definitely going to make this as soon I send you this comment...

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

Enjoy. Thanks for watching and using my videos.

[@GT_KREW]

Thank you

[@triciadefreitas2169]

Can I add about 4 - 5 Tbsp of fresh ginger, I love ginger...will the mithai still come out crunchy

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

Yes you can. Maybe 1 or 2 tbsp. Will be enough though

[@buddyholly4672]

I love that you use your hands to mix it. So traditional! What kind of oil did you use?

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

Canola oil

[@satisfyingsounds6098]

Nice recipe! I will try to make this soon. Could you post a recipe for ”Oyster Drink”?

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

I don't know how to make that. My family also doesn't eat oysters. So I will try my best, but I don't know.

[@satisfyingsounds6098]

Matthew's Guyanese Cooking thank you. I've heard it's a popular drink. If not maybe a pina colada drink?

[@blessedlady2038]

Guyanese pancakes

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

Will do soon

[@daddysbabyamrita5384]

Can I use water instead of milk . I use milk before but my mittahi gets soft after a while

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

Ok you can try it. It won't taste rich though

[@esampson2369]

Hi Matthew, would powdered sugar work VS the boiled sugar syrup?

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

The powdered sugar and condensed milk trick would make it slightly soggy after sitting. That’s why the sugar syrup works best

[@esampson2369]

@Matthew's Guyanese Cooking Thank you. Makes sense. I'll stick with the norm.

[@savitriesingh3587]

Hi can you tell me how to make root

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

Already on my channel. Search for "roat"

[@kkay4994]

So I made your recipe. The flavor is astounding however my kurma was not crunchy what did I do wrong?

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

You need to fry it on med low to low heat and so they can slowly get crispy. If it fries too fast then it doesnt get crunchy

[@kkay4994]

[@gonumvengethasamy8654]

Yummy why dont u give rhe measurement of ingredients as u make the mitai

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

Watch the video and you will hear that I said that all ingredients are in the description box below. Click below the video and the measurements are there

[@itsonlysyd206]

Does it matter what type milk you use ?

[@janicemcrae8254]

I use almond milk as I don't use carnation milk

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

You can use any milk.

[@msunique9274]

Not true abt the brown sugar. My mom made mithai with brown sugar n was always crispy. To this day, I have never tasted a better mithai than hers. Unfortunately, I never learned to make it, and now I can't cause she's no longer here.😭😭

[@nadiapersaud32]

Matthew can you make chicken on the ruff

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

Will try to do that soon. I have never had it

[@srambaran7967]

No grated coconut???

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

Crunchy mithai isn't always made with coconut. Some people put it and some don't.

[@margaretmattheqs4788]

I have tried this but mine was not crunchy.I used brown sugar.Thank you for your explanation.I will try again using your info

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

You need to fry them low and slow. They will cook inside then outside that way.

[@avondaniels9609]

How much flour and

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

Look in the description box below the video

[@alishafelix6108]

matthew my mithai keeps coming out chewy and soft in the middle what can cause this I also added about 1 cup of coconut flakes

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

You need to lower the heat some more and fry them a bit longer to allow them to fry really well. They should be in the oil at least 5 minutes to get the full crunch

@@matthewsguyanesecooking4601 thank you so much for your reply will let you know of the results in my new batch came out
