Ingredients
For the dough:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup ghee
- A pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup lukewarm water
For the filling:
- 1 cup grated khoya
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (almonds, cashews, pistachios)
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder
- 1 tablespoon milk
For frying:
- Oil or ghee
Instructions:
- Start by making the dough for the gujiya. In a mixing bowl, add the all-purpose flour, salt, and ghee. Mix it well until it resembles breadcrumbs.
- Slowly add the lukewarm water and knead it into a smooth and soft dough. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the filling. In a pan, heat the grated khoya on low flame. Keep stirring until it starts to melt.
- Add the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, chopped nuts, and cardamom powder to the melted khoya. Mix it well until it forms a smooth and thick mixture.
- Add the chocolate chips to the mixture and mix it well. The heat will melt the chocolate chips, making the mixture even more chocolatey
- Add the milk to the mixture to make it more moist. Mix it well and turn off the heat. Let the mixture cool down.
- Once the dough has rested for 30 minutes, divide it into small balls. Roll each ball into a small circular disc using a rolling pin.
- Place a spoonful of the chocolate filling in the center of the circular disc. Fold the disc in half and seal the edges using your fingers. Use a fork to press the edges firmly and make a decorative pattern
- Heat the oil or ghee in a deep frying pan. Once the oil is hot, add the gujiyas to it one by one. Fry them until they turn golden brown.
- Remove the gujiyas from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels. This will remove any excess oil.
- Your chocolate gujiyas are ready to serve. You can sprinkle some powdered sugar on top or drizzle some chocolate syrup for extra sweetness.
Tips
- Make sure the oil is hot before adding the gujiyas to it. If the oil is not hot enough, the gujiyas will soak up a lot of oil and become soggy.
- You can make the filling in advance and store it in the fridge for a few days. This will save you time when you’re ready to make the gujiyas.
- Use a non-stick frying pan to fry the gujiyas. This will prevent them from sticking to the pan and breaking apart.
- Don’t overstuff the gujiyas with the filling. A spoonful of filling is enough for each gujiya.
- You can add different types of nuts to the filling or use a different type of chocolate chips to give the gujiyas a unique flavor.
