Gujia

Serves : 8

Cooking time - 1 hour

You need

250 g moong dal
100 g sugar
1/4 cup water
2 cups all purpose flour
Water for kneading
1/2 cup oil or ghee
1/2 cup mixed dry fruits ( almonds, cashew nuts, raisins etc )
1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder

Method

For filling :

Soak moong dal overnight. Grind it to a paste. Heat oil in a kadai and then add the moong paste. Keep stirring all the time till brown. Add 1/4 cup water and sugar. Mix well and cook for 5 minutes or till the sugar melts and all water is absorbed by the moong dal. Add all the dry fruits and cardamom powder and keep aside.

For covering :

Mix 1/2 cup of oil in the all purpose flour. Mix well and add enough water to knead into a smooth dough. Divide the dough into small balls and roll into small puris. Stuff the filling into the puri and close the edge with water or liquid flour. Remember... the ends should be properly closed. Heat oil in a kadai and fry the gujias till golden brown.
