Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (maida)
- 1/4 cup A2 Desi Cow Ghee
- Water (as needed to make dough)
- 1 cup khoya (Mawa), crumbled
- 1/4 cup grated coconut
- 1/4 cup chopped cashews
- 1/4 cup chopped almonds
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 tsp cardamom powder
- Ghee for deep frying
Instructions:
- Prepare the dough: In a bowl, mix all-purpose flour and A2 Desi Cow Ghee. Rub the ghee into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs. Gradually add water to knead into a smooth, stiff dough. Cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest.
- Prepare the filling: In a pan, heat crumbled khoya on low heat for 2-3 minutes. Add grated coconut, chopped nuts, powdered sugar, and cardamom powder. Stir the mixture for another 2 minutes. Once combined, remove from heat and allow it to cool.
- Shape the gujiya: Divide the dough into small balls and roll each into a thin circle. Place a spoonful of the filling in the centre of each circle. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges tightly to seal, and crimp them using a fork.
- Fry the gujiya: Heat oil or A2 Desi Cow Ghee in a deep pan. Once hot, gently drop the gujiyas into the oil and fry until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Serve: Let the gujiyas cool, then serve these sweet, crispy delights with your loved ones this Holi!
