Gujia

Making of the Outer quote of Gujia:

1. Mix all purpose flour / maida with salt, baking powder and 5 tablespoon of oil.
2. The mixture will turn crumbly after mixing.
3. Mix water as required (food processor can be used instead of kneading by hand).
4. Cover with a wet cloth and leave for 1 hour.

To make the Stuffing:

1. Chop Cashew, Raisin, Almond, and Date roughly.
2. Dry roast Coconut powder in a frying pan in medium flame till it turn brown.
3. Add chopped nuts and raisin to it and fry for 1 minute.
4. Add grated Khoya and keep stirring till it mixes properly.
5. Add Fennel seeds and fry again for 2 minutes.
6. Mix powdered sugar properly and fry for 5 minutes.
7. Allow the mixture to cool.

To make Gujia:

1. Prepare small balls from the kneaded dough.
2. Take one ball and roll it into a small round of 4 inch diameter.
3. Stuff half of the round with the khoya mixture and fold it and seal it by twisting the edges inwards.( Gujia moulds can also be used to prepare Gujia’s which are easily available in the market; I prefer to prepare Gujia with the help of mould).
4. Prepare rest of the Gujias.
5. Heat sufficient Oil/ghee in a deep pan and deep fry the Gujias on a medium flame till golden brown in colour.
6. Take out using a sieve and drain the oil properly.
