Making Degh

[samosasingh]

I understand that flour ghee and sugar have to be weighed and equal parts to make degh. The water is supposed to be 4 times the amount but is not weighed. How do we get the proper amount of water then? Are we to eyeball it. foe ex. 1/4 of the baati is filled with flour hence that amount times 4 is the water needed?

How do you guys figure out the water amount..

Good question - still have no answer. Some state that they simply use 4 x the volume. One Sikh stated that the water weight 3.2 x another ingredient (cannot remember), so they used 3 x.

I am still looking for the appropriate reference where it says 4 x and I cannot find it.

I asked the same here:

The website's recipe is here:

The intent was to ask for the reference, read for myself to see what exactly is implied by the reference to determine the water content.

Try sant hari Singh randhawe wales Katha, degh di mahatma, should be on Gurmat chanan or Gurmat veechar, they quote from sooraj parkash I think

It's normally 4x water and 1x atta, khand, ghaee but with weight not volume

And 1x jap Ji sahib
