Let's explore some popular Holi snacks and learn how to make delicious Gujiya at home.

How to Make Gujiya at Home

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (maida)

  • 1/4 cup ghee (clarified butter)

  • Water (as needed)

  • 1 cup khoya (mawa)

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts (almonds, cashews, pistachios)

  • 1/4 cup grated coconut

  • 1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder

  • Oil (for frying)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Dough:

    • In a mixing bowl, add all-purpose flour and ghee. Mix well until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

    • Gradually add water and knead into a soft, pliable dough. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

  2. Prepare the Filling:

    • In a pan, roast the khoya on low heat until it turns golden brown. Allow it to cool.

    • Once cooled, add powdered sugar, chopped nuts, grated coconut, and cardamom powder to the khoya. Mix well.

  3. Shape the Gujiyas:

    • Divide the dough into small balls and roll each ball into a small circle (about 4-5 inches in diameter).

    • Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each circle.

    • Fold the circle in half to form a semi-circle and press the edges together to seal. You can use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative look.

  4. Fry the Gujiyas:

    • Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.

    • Fry the gujiyas in batches until they turn golden brown and crisp.

    • Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

  5. Serve and Enjoy:

    • Allow the gujiyas to cool completely before serving. Enjoy these delicious sweet treats with your loved ones!
