Scale
- 250g Khoya/ Mawa / Solidified milk
- 100g Sugar
- 1 Tbsp. Semolina
- 2 Green Cardamom
- 1 Tsp. Ghee
Instructions
- Make a coarse powder of the Sugar.

- Now take crumbled Khoya in a pan and start cooking it over the very low flame for 5-7 minutes along with 2/3 of the Sugar powder and roasted semolina.
- Add powdered Cardamom and mix thoroughly once the Khowa properly cooked and tight.
- Switch the flame off.
- Wait till the Khoya can be handled to give shape using the hand.
- Add remaining 1/3 Sugar powder and knead the Khoya.
- Add little Ghee to complete the dough.
- Ghee will help the dough to not to stick on the hands.
- Take a small portion of the Khoya mix and give it a shape of Ring.
- To do that you have to make a cylindrical shape with the dough and then have to join both the loose end to give the ring-shape.
- Refer to the pictures for the shape of Gujia.
- Once all the Gujiya are prepared to place those over a plate and wait till the Gujia tighten naturally.
- Serve it then and there or fridge it for future consumption.
Notes
- I prefer the texture of Gujiya a bit rough and hence I add Semolina.
- If you want your Gujiya to be smooth, skip semolina.
- Adjust Sugar as per taste.
