Ingredient List
For making the shell:
- 1 cup Pillsbury™ Chakki Fresh Atta
- 1cup All-purpose flour
- Salt as per taste
- 2 tbsp Ghee
- ½ cup Water
For the filling:
- ½ tbsp Ghee
- 1 cup Grated Khoya
- ⅓ cup Sugar (powder)
- Chopped dry fruits (almond, cashew, raisins)
- 2 pinch Cardamom powder
- Oil/Ghee to fry
Preparation
For making the shell:
- In a bowl, take 1 cup Pillsbury™ Chakki Fresh Atta, 1 cup All-purpose flour and salt as per taste.
- Place another pan on the burner to heat the ghee.
- Add warm ghee in the mixture and rub it well to get a nice texture (at least 5-7 mins).
- It avoids any bubbles on the surface of the Gujiyas while frying them.
- Once the ghee is mixed well in the Pillsbury™ Chakki Fresh Atta and All-purpose flour mixture, add water little by little to form a dough.
- Knead the dough to make it firm and tight.
- Keep the dough aside and cover it with a moist cloth for 25 to 30 minutes.
For the filling:
- Add half a spoon ghee in the pan and add 1 cup grated khoya and stir it well on low flame.
- Once it starts to gather around, turn off the burner and transfer it in a plate allowing it to cool.
- Once it is cool, add 1/3 cup sugar powder, dry fruits, cardamom powder and mix it well.
- Now divide the dough into small pieces and roll them into the size of a puri (do not dust dry flour while doing this).
- With the help of your fingers, apply water on the border of the puri to make it moist.
- Place a spoon of the khoya filling on one part of the circle and bend the other half of the puri to cover the filled portion.
Tips
- Do not stuff too much filling and do not let the stuffing move on the moist border of the puri.
- Press the edges well so that the filling does not spill out. (You can also place rolled puri on the Gujiya shape maker available in the market to get a good design on the edges).
- Place the Gujiya under a moist cloth. Do not allow it to lose its moistness.
- To fry them, take oil/ghee in pan once it is properly heated, add the Gujiya in it and fry them on a medium flame. Fry them until they become golden in colour.
