How To Make Almond White Chocolate Gujiya?
| Ingredients | Quantity |
| Dough All-purpose flour | 2 cups |
| Clarified butter (ghee) | ¼ cup |
| Water | ½ cup |
| For Filling White chocolate | 1 cup |
| Desiccated coconut | ¼ cup |
| Green cardamom powder | A pinch |
| Almonds | ½ cup |
| Jaggery | 1 tbsp |
Let’s Look At The Recipe:
- Rub the flour and ghee together, and bind them with water to form a soft dough. Let it rest for ½ hour.
- In a bowl, mix the chocolate flakes, coconut, and almonds together. Add jaggery to the mixture.
- Make small balls of the dough and roll them out into ½ cm thick rotis.
- Place the filling in the center. Do not overstuff, as this may cause the gujiyas to burst while frying.
- Apply water on the edges and seal them. The shape should resemble a half-moon. Use a cutter to make a design around the edges or pinch and twist them for a traditional look.
- Heat oil or ghee in a deep pan and fry the gujiyas until golden brown.
