Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Firstly for malai, heat milk in a pan, thicken it, add sugar, dissolve

  2. 2

    Take 2 tbs milk in a bowl out of the pan and mix cornflour and milk powder well so that no lumps form, add this to the pan, boil again to thicken it to a malai like consistency.

  3. 3

    Add cardamom kesar and rose water, turn off the heat, cool down to room temperature

  4. 4

    For sugar syrup boil water with the sugar, add lemon juice to avoid sugar crystallization. Make one string syrup.

  5. 5

    For the shell mix everything to form a firm dough

  6. 6

    Brush some oil, cover it and keep for one hour

  7. 7

    For the filling heat ghee in a pan, gradually add every ingredient for the filling, cook for sometime, make it thick and bring down

  8. 8

    Final Step - flatten up the dough with a rolling pin to make a big chapatti, cut out some circles with a bowl/ round cookie cutter, put some filling within it, apply some water on the periphery, fold and stick it as a half circle (I don't have a gujia mould so I made it this way), press a fork through the border to give it a gujia like design

  9. 9

    Heat oil in a pan over med heat, add a small flour ball in it, if it sinks down and forms some bubbles then the oil is ready. Deep fry the gujias over low-med flame, take them out, cool down a little

  10. 10

    Add them to the sugar syrup for 2-3 mins, then take them out and cool down for 1 hr

  11. 11

    Now place gujia,then place rabdi and serve
