Directions: Gujiya Recipe

  • STEP 1.Kneading the dough
  • STEP 2.1. In a wide pan, add all-purpose flour, salt and ghee. Mix it and rub the ghee in flour really well.
  • STEP 3.2. Add very little water (1 tbsp to begin with) water and start kneading. Keep adding very small amount of water while kneading.Once done, cover the dough with a clean damp cotton cloth/napkin. Let it sit like this for 30 minutes.

  • STEP 5.1. In a bowl, add Mawa and crumble it with hands and in the same pan add dry roast ½ cup of nuts and seeds of your choice.
  • STEP 6.Once it’s done, add cardamom powder and jaggery powder/Cane sugar and mix well.
  • STEP 7.👉Assembly and frying:
  • STEP 8.1. Scoop out small dough balls and roll it using a rolling pin (belan) on a flat surface to make flat circles of 3-4 inches. Make sure they are a bit thick. Very thin will be hard to handle while filling and flaky after frying.
  • STEP 9.2. Then, add filling in between. Add about 1.5-2 tbsp of filling. This might look a lot now but keep in mind that gujiyas will fluff up while frying. Leave the circumfeence completely empty.
  • STEP 10.3. On the circumference of the circle, apply water/milk using your fingertip. This is done to stick the edges of the dough together after it’s folded to make gujiya shape.
  • STEP 11.4. Fold the dough over. Join and press the edges carefully and press them well so that the filling doesn’t some out whole frying.
  • STEP 12.Using a fork, make marks on the pressed edge of the gujiya.
  • STEP 13.5. Heat oil in a deep pan. When its hot enough to fry, add the gujiya in the pan and fry until it is golden brown.
