Holi Special Recipe: Classic Gujiya
No Holi celebration is complete without the sweet, crispy delight of gujiya. With its golden crust and rich khoya filling, this traditional treat is a festive favourite across Indian homes.
Here’s a simple and delicious gujiya recipe you can prepare using your Sumeet Stainless Steel Kadhai.
Ingredients:
For the dough:
· 2 cups all-purpose flour (maida)
· 4 tablespoons ghee
· A pinch of salt
· Water (as needed)
For the filling:
· 1 cup khoya (mawa)
· ½ cup powdered sugar
· 2 tablespoons chopped almonds
· 2 tablespoons chopped cashews
· 1 tablespoon raisins
· ½ teaspoon cardamom powder
For frying:
· Oil or ghee (for deep frying)
Method:
1. Prepare the Dough:
In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, and ghee. Rub the mixture between your palms until it resembles breadcrumbs. Gradually add water and knead into a firm dough. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20–30 minutes.
2. Make the Filling:
Heat your Sumeet Stainless Steel Kadhai on low flame and lightly roast the khoya until it turns aromatic and slightly golden. Allow it to cool. Then mix in powdered sugar, dry fruits, and cardamom powder. Your rich festive filling is ready!
3. Shape the Gujiyas:
Divide the dough into small balls and roll them into small discs. Place a spoonful of filling in the centre, fold into a semi-circle, and seal the edges tightly. You can crimp the edges with a fork or use a gujiya mould for a perfect finish.
4. Deep Fry to Golden Perfection:
Heat oil or ghee in your Sumeet Stainless Steel Kadhai on medium flame. Gently slide in the gujiyas and fry until they turn golden brown and crisp. Thanks to the kadhai’s even heat distribution, your gujiyas will cook uniformly, giving you that perfect crunch in every bite.
5. Cool and Serve:
Let the gujiyas cool completely before serving. Store them in an airtight container to retain their crispness.
