It's been long when we used to be at home on holi and mom used to make this special dish to savour on holi. Somehow, I never liked the gujiyas sold in the market. So this time I thought to try my hand on making it all by myself. Of course, it couldn't have been possible without my dear sister :)
Though making gujiyas does take time and effort, but the taste of this scrumptious dish is worth all the effort. Here's the recipe for the same :
Serves : 20-24 pieces
Ingredients :
1) 250 grams Maida
2) 1 Small Katori castor sugar
2) 5-6 tbl spoon refined oil
3) Half glass water
4) Few Raisins, finely chopped Almond, Chironji(Cudpahnut) and Cardamom
5) 200 grams Khoya
6) 2-3 spoons roasted Suji
7) 3 spoons grated coconut
Method :
1) Fry the khoya in a pan till golden brown.
2) Mix the fried khoya with sugar, suji, coconut, almonds, raisins, cardamom and chironji as shown below and set it aside.
2) Now take maida and keep putting some oil and mix it till the mixture starts showing out soft bubbles. Now add water and knead into a soft dough.(Tip: Once the dough starts leaving oil in your hand, it is ready to be used)
3) Roll out the kneaded dough into small chappatis (Tip : Keep the sides a little thinner than the centre)
4) Divide the dough into small balls and roll each ball into a small round of 4 inch diameter. Fill half the chappati with the khoya mixture, fold it and seal the round with a little water. Decorate the ends by twisting the edges inwards as shown below:
Take care that the filling does not ooze out.
5) Now deep fry the gujiyas in oil on medium flame till golden brown (Tip : If the gujiyas are not sealed properly, they might open up while frying, so be careful if they open out, remove them immediately)
6) Take them out with a sieve type ladle and drain the oil completely.
Your gujiyas are ready to eat!!
Enjoy the gujiyas and wish you all a very happy Holi!!
