Gujiya
Gujiya
Gujiya is a popular Indian sweet pastry filled with a mixture of khoya (milk solids), nuts, and coconut. It’s deep-fried and then dipped in sugar syrup or dusted with powdered sugar.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter)
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 cup khoya (milk solids)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (like almonds, pistachios)
- 2 tablespoons desiccated coconut
- Oil for deep frying
- Water for sealing the edges
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and ghee. Rub the mixture between your palms until it resembles breadcrumbs. Gradually add water and knead into a smooth dough. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, mix the khoya, powdered sugar, chopped nuts, and desiccated coconut to make the filling.
- Divide the dough into small balls. Roll out each ball into a small circle.
- Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each circle. Moisten the edges with water and fold the circle in half to form a half-moon shape. Press the edges to seal using a fork or your fingers.
- Heat oil in a deep pan for frying. Once hot, gently slide in the Gujiyas and fry until golden brown on both sides.
- Remove the Gujiyas from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Allow them to cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar.
