Khoa Gujiya| होली पर बनाइए स्वादिष्ट मावा गुजिया| Gujiya Recipe

Written by on in Dessert, Festive Special, Indian Sweets, Recipes

Gujiya is a traditional Indian sweet of crispy pastry filled with a sweet stuffing of mawa (khoa) and dry fruits.

Gujiya is a popular homemade sweet especially prepared during Indian Festivals. It is a deep-fried, D-shaped sweet dumpling.

It is a North Indian sweet but, is also prepared in different parts of the country and is known by different names, like, karanji (Marathi) in Maharashtra, Pedakiya in Bihar, Garijalu (Telugu) in Telangana, karachika (Tamil) in Tamil Nadu, karjikai (Kannada) in Karnataka, kajjikaya (Telugu) in Andhra Pradesh and gujiya or ghughra (Gujarati) in Gujarat.

The stuffing of the gujiya may change with the region but the basic method remains the same. But, the traditional recipe of gujiya has a filling of sweetened khoa (mawa), dry fruits and cardamom.

In this recipe, I am going to share the step by step method of making the traditional Gujiyas. We will be using pure khoa, sugar, cardamom and some nuts for preparing the stuffing.

Sometimes, people also use homemade khoa made with milkmaid for making the stuffing, but, I prefer pure khoa that is prepared with milk because it gives me the authentic taste. You can either make it at home or buy it from outside. (I bought it from outside).

The full step by step recipe with images is discussed below. So, let’s check it out:-
