Delicious Gujiya Recipe for a Sweet Treat

Ingredients

Servings:
8
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup ghee (or unsalted butter)
  • 1 cup water (for dough)
  • 1 cup khoya (grated)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup chopped nuts (cashews, almonds)
  • 1 cup raisin
  • 1 teaspoon cardamom powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • oil for frying

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Dough

    In a large bowl, mix all-purpose flour, ghee, and salt. Knead into a smooth dough.

    Let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Make the Filling

    Combine khoya, powdered sugar, chopped nuts, raisins, and cardamom powder in a bowl.

    Ensure the mixture is not too wet.
  3. Roll Out the Dough

    Divide the dough into small balls and roll each into a circle about 4 inches in diameter.

    Keep the rolled dough covered to prevent drying.
  4. Fill the Gujiya

    Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each circle. Fold and seal the edges using water.

    Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
  5. Fry the Gujiya

    Heat oil in a deep pan and fry the gujiyas until golden brown.

    Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure even frying.
