Gujia Recipe | How to make Gujia and Gujia preparation tips | Gujia cooking tips

For the Dough:

2 cups all-purpose flour (maida)
2 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter)
A pinch of salt
Water (as needed for kneading)

For the Filling:

1 cup khoya (dried milk) or grated coconut
½ cup sugar (adjust to taste)
2 tablespoons chopped nuts (cashews, almonds, pistachios)
½ teaspoon cardamom powder
A few strands of saffron (optional)

For Frying:
Oil or ghee (for deep frying)

Gujia Ingredients
1. Prepare the Dough:

In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, ghee, and salt. Mix well.
Gradually add water and knead into a soft, smooth dough. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

2. Prepare the Filling or Gujia filling recipes

In a pan, gently heat the khoya until it softens. If using grated coconut, toast it lightly.
Mix the khoya (or coconut) with sugar, chopped nuts, cardamom powder, and saffron. Let it cool.

3. Shape the Gujias:

Divide the dough into small balls (about the size of a golf ball).
Roll each ball into a small disc (about 4 inches in diameter).
Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each disc.
Fold the disc over to form a half-moon shape and seal the edges by pressing them together. You can crimp the edges with a fork for a decorative touch.

4. Fry the Gujias:

Heat oil or ghee in a deep pan over medium heat.
Once hot, carefully add the gujias in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry until they turn golden brown, turning occasionally for even cooking.
Remove and drain on paper towels.

5. Serve:

Allow them to cool slightly before serving. You can dust with powdered sugar if desired.
Enjoy your homemade gujias during festive occasions or as a delightful snack!
