Ingredients

  • Ingredients for the outer covering:
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 tablespoon fine suji / semolina
  • 1 -2 tablespoon ghee
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup milk or as required
  • Ingredients for stuffing:
  • 20 dates deseeded and chopped, approximately 1/2 cup
  • 1/4 cup desiccated coconut
  • 2 tablespoons dry fruits powder

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl take the whole wheat flour. Add suji, salt, and ghee to it and mix well.
  • Add warm milk as required and knead into a semi tight dough.
  • Cover and allow the dough to rest for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile let’s prepare the stuffing for the gujiya.
  • In a bowl take the deseeded and chopped dates. Add desiccated coconut and dry fruits powder to it and combine well. Stuffing is now ready.
  • Make 8 equal portions of the dough and roll out each dough ball into a disc. Hold the disc into your palms. Add 1 tablespoon stuffing over it. Fold the disc to make a half circle. Seal the edges by applying little milk on the corners.
  • Now either shape the gujiya in the traditional way by creating beautiful pleated pattern around the edges as shown in the pics and video or simply make impressions using a fork.
  • Prepare all the gujiya similarly.
  • Heat oil in a wok at medium heat.
  • Tip in 2-3 gujiya into the oil and deep fry until the gujiya turn golden brown from both the sides.
  • Remove the gujiya using a slotted spoon and allow to drain on an absorbent paper. Serve the gujiya. Allow them to cool down completely before transferring into an air tight container.
