Gujiya is a crescent-shaped sweet dumpling that's a popular Holi dish in India. The filling is made with sweetened khoya, nuts, and raisins, and the outer layer is a pastry made with flour, ghee, and water. These dumplings are then deep-fried to perfection, resulting in a crunchy and sweet treat that's perfect for celebrating Holi.

Ingredients

  • all-purpose flour - 2.0 cup
  • ghee (clarified butter) - 0.3 cup
  • water - 0.3 cup
  • grated khoya (dried milk solids) - 0.5 cup
  • powdered sugar - 0.3 cup
  • chopped mixed nuts (almonds, cashews, pistachios) - 0.3 cup
  • raisins - 0.3 cup
  • cardamom powder - 0.3 tsp
  • Oil for frying - 1.0 as needed

Cooking Steps

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and ghee. Mix well until the mixture becomes crumbly. Slowly add the water, a little at a time, and knead the dough until it becomes smooth and pliable.

Step 2

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20-30 minutes.

Step 3

In a separate mixing bowl, combine the khoya, powdered sugar, mixed nuts, raisins, and cardamom powder. Mix well to make the filling.

Step 4

Divide the dough into small balls and roll them out into thin circles.

Step 5

Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each circle and fold it in half to create a crescent shape. Seal the edges by pressing them together firmly.

Step 6

Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Fry the Gujiyas in batches until they turn golden brown and crisp.

Step 7

Drain the fried Gujiyas on a paper towel to remove excess oil.

Step 8

Serve hot or at room temperature. These sweet dumplings can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
