ABOUT Gujiya RECIPE

An epic and classic gujiya recipe. The most famous dish of holi which is mostly found in every house during this festival.

Ingredients Serving: 10

For the dough:
500 gm refined flour (maida)
150 gm desi ghee, melted
Water to knead the dough
For the filling:
400 gm roasted khoya
200 gm sugar
1 bowl of finely chopped dry fruits (cashewnut, raisins, almond and grated coconut)
1 spoon elaichi powder
Ghee/refined oil for deep frying

Instructions

Prepare a normal dough with ghee. Cover and keep aside.
Put in the powdered sugar, dry fruits, elaichi powder in khoya and mix it well.
Put 1 spoon maida in 1/2 bowl water and mix it well. (This will work as an adhesive to join the gujiyas.)
Make small balls from the dough and roll it like a roti. Fill 1-2 spoons of mixture and make it like a gujiya applying water prepared in the previous step. Make gujiyas of all the dough.
Dry them under a fan from both the sides. (This will use less ghee.)
Deep fry them on a low and medium flame very carefully as the gujiyas are very delicate and can break it easily.
Fry until it attains a light pink colour. It is now ready to eat!
