Sugar-Free Gujjiya Recipe
You must ensure that the ingredients mentioned below are used in making the Gujiya.
Take a pan, add mashed khoya and roast it on medium heat till it turns pink. Now, take it off the heat and let it cool.
Now, to the mashed khoya, add all the other filling ingredients along with jaggery. Mix all the ingredients well, and keep aside.
To prepare the covering, sieve flour and add salt (to taste). Add five tablespoons of desi ghee to it. Now, add enough water (warm) and knead into a firm dough. Cover it with a moist cloth (a very important step).
Keep the kneaded dough aside for at least 10-15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, divide the dough into small balls and roll each ball into a small round shape (just like puri).
Spread a Puri on a greased Gujjiya mould and fill a tablespoon of the filling mixture on one side.
Moisten the edges of the puri and fold one side of the mould over the other. Press the edges hard and then slowly remove the excess dough and reuse.
Prepare all the Gujjiya and spread it on a damp cloth. Keep them aside.
Now, heat a pan and add sufficient desi ghee to deep-fry the Gujjiya, in batches on medium heat, till golden brown.
