Mawa Gujiya (Mawa Karanji)

Mawa Gujiya (Mawa Karanji)

Mawa Gujiya (Mawa Karanji) is very popular during Holi or any Indian festival. Mawa Gujiya is rich and delicious in a taste, packed with the natural goodness of dried fruits, coconut and milk solids (Mawa). In north India Holi Festival without Gujiya means Holi without Colors. Traditionally Gujiya fry in the deep oil or ghee. However now a days peoples are very health conscious and that’s why today I am sharing fried as well baked version.

Tips:

• You can use Gujiya maker (mold) for Gujiya stuffing and sealing.

• Fry Gujiya always on the low flame.

• Do not use lukewarm water for dough kneading, always use cold water.

• Do not do too much stuffing, otherwise it will be spoiled in an oil while frying.
