Gujiya

Well what to say about this sweet dish. This is a must-have in Indian households during the time of festival of colors Holi. Its an Indian tradition to serve these when a guest arrives at your house during holi time. There are so many of these once the festival gets over that you can eat it for rest of the week :).

It take a little bit of time to make these, but once you have the end result in your hand you will forget about how much effort you had put. These are mouth-watering, tasty and worth-making sweets which will have your guests ask for some more. So here's my version of how to make these delicious sweet which we call "Gujiyas".


Ingredients:

For cover:
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 tsp Semolina flour
1 tbsp oil

For Filling:
Khoya
Milk
Sugar
Cardomom powder
Almonds/kishmish

For coating:
2 cup sugar
1 cup water

1. Add all the ingredients for outer cover and make it in a dough with help of water.
2. Heat a pan, add khoya and cook it until golden brown. Add milk(not too much though).
3. When khoya starts to absorb milk add sugar, let it cook and dry.
4. Add rest of the ingredients.
5. Let the material cool down before start filling.
6. Add sugar and water in a bowl and get it to boil. Once it comes to a boil, take it off the flame and let it cool.
7. Divide the dough into small size portions. Roll it and fill it with the filling.
8. While closing, thr is a special kind of instrument we get in india. But since I didn't have that, I put little water coating on the edges and closed gujiya's while folding it.
9. Fry them on med/high heat oil.
10. Once golden brown in color, take it out and cover it with sugar syrup.
11. Add pistachios on top for decoration.
