Gujiya

  • Sugar1 cup

Optional extras

  • Golden Raisins2 tbsp
  • Almonds2 tbsp, slivered
  • Green Cardamom3, crushed

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare each component as the tradition demands — doughs kneaded, fillings cooked dry, syrups skimmed.

  2. 2

    Assemble or cook the milk with the spices and sweetness, following the festival rhythm.

  3. 3

    Finish with cardamom and nuts; present it proudly — festival sweets are made to be shown.

Chef's tip

Ghee first, sweetness later — sugar added too early toughens flour and milk solids.
