Coconut Gujiya: Rakhi Special
Raksha Bandhan is a festival that celebrates the unique relationship between a brother and sister. Coconut gujiyas are the perfect Indian dessert to celebrate this bitter-sweet relationship with your brother. Gujiya is a traditional Rakhi recipe. Apart from being a popular sweet dish for Rakhi, Gujiyas are also prepared on other auspicious occasions like Holi and Diwali.
This
special
gujiya
recipe
uses
coconut
which
is
the
main
ingredient
of
this
Indian
dessert.
But,
milk
powder
is
used
instead
of
khoa.
Gujiyas
are
deep
fried
snacks
so
do
not
expect
it
to
be
a
very
healthy
dessert.
Serves: 4 (10 gujiyas)
Preparation Time: 45 minutes
Ingredients For Crust
- All purpose flour- 2 cups
- Sooji or Semolina flour- 1/2 cup
- Refined sugar- 1tbsp
- Water- 1.5 cups
Ingredients For Filling
- Coconut- 2 cups (grated)
- Milk powder- 1/2 cup
- Fresh cream- 1 cup
- Almonds- 10 (chopped)
- Cardamom seeds- 1tsp
- Sugar- 1/2 cup
Other Ingredients:
- Ghee- 1tbsp
- Oil- 3tbsp
- Sugar syrup- 2 cups
Procedure
1. Mix all the ingredients of the crust in a bowl. Pour the water slowly and knead into a soft dough.
2. Heat ghee in a pan. Cook a mixture of milk powder and fresh cream in it for 4-5 minutes on low flame.
3. When it browns, add coconut, cardamom seeds, almonds and sugar to it. Cook for another 2 minutes and then remove from flame.
4. Allow this mixture to cool. Meanwhile make small balls out of the dough and roll them out in the shape of small puris (round).
5. Place a tablespoon of filling into each puri and seal the edges with your fingers. You can give it the traditional zig-zag shape of the gujiyas with the help of moulds used to shape it.
6. Heat oil in a deep bottomed pan and fry the guijyas on low flame until they turn golden brown. This should take about 3-5 minutes for each gujia.
7. Allow the fried sweets to cool and when they are at room temperature, soak them in sugar syrup and refrigerate.
Serve chilled coconut gujiyas garnished with dry fruits to your brother/sister on the occasion of Rakhi.
