Apple Gujiya

 

Jay Annapurna Maa! You are welcomed on this blog for Vegetarian recipes. Here is a recipe of an apple. Please try it.

Ingredients

2 cup Maida, melted ghee for frying, cold water and a pinch of salt, Mawa - 250gm crumbled, Apple - 1 cup peeled and finely grated, finely grated cashew nuts and almonds - atleast 4 tbsp (you can add pistachio and brain nuts also alongwith few saffron strands), ½ tsp cinnamon (dalchini) powder, ½ tsp cardamom (ilayachi) powder, 1 tbsp milk.

Method

For the outer pastry or shell

1. In a large bowl sieve the flour and salt together. Add 1 tbsp of melted ghee. Rub the ghee in flour with your fingertips till the mixture reassembles like coarse. Add cold water gradually and knead dough into a smooth dough. Cover and keep aside for 30 minutes.

2. Now prepare for the gujiya feeling 

Add finely grated apple, crumbled mawa, dry-fruits, cardamom powder, cinnamon powder in a bowl and mash them all to mix well. As apple is sweet there is no need to add sugar in it.

3. Now heat this mixture till you get the melted mawa. It will not take more than 5 minutes so keep on stirring the mixture continuously. Keep this mixture aside till it cools.

4. After cooling of the mixture let's prepare the gujiya. Make medium sized balls of the dough. Roll into a round puri, nor thick or thin. Put and few tbsps of the apple khoya filling on the one side. Apply milk on the outer edges. Cover and press the edges together. Cut out the extra dough from the edges with a knife.

5. Pleat the gujias neatly from top to end. Make all the gujiyas this way and keep them on a thali or plate. Cover them.

6. Heat ghee for deep frying when hot fry 1 gujiya at a time till golden brown. 

(Note: Instead of ghee you can use oil but then there will be change is the aroma of the gujiya and it's taste.)
