Description

Gujiya is a popular and rich traditional sweet pastry, often described as a sweet Indian dumpling or turnover, and is a staple during major festivals, particularly Holi and Diwali, in North India.

• Appearance and Texture: It is typically shaped into a crescent or half-moon, featuring a crispy, flaky outer crust. It is deep-fried to a golden perfection.

• Key Ingredients:

  • Outer Layer: A firm dough made from all-purpose flour (maida) and ghee (clarified butter).

  • Filling: A rich, sweet filling of roasted khoya (mawa—dried milk solids), mixed with powdered sugar, cardamom powder, nuts (like cashews, almonds, and pistachios), and sometimes desiccated coconut or semolina (suji).

• Finishing: Gujiyas can be served plain, dusted with powdered sugar, or sometimes dipped in a light sugar syrup (chashni) for a glossy, extra-sweet finish.

• Regional Names: This delicacy has similar variations across India, known as Karanji in Maharashtra, Ghughra in Gujarat, and Kajjikayalu in Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka.
