Crispy Suji Gujiya Recipe Without Mawa (Holi Special)
If you’ve tried mawa gujiya and sugar-syrup gujiya before, today I’ll show you a unique gujiya recipe without mawa, yet so rich and creamy that you won’t even realize there’s no khoya in it. This recipe is simple, uses everyday ingredients, and is a perfect sweet for Holi celebrations.
Ingredients for the Dough:
- 4 cups (500g) all-purpose flour (maida)
- ½ cup ghee (for moyan)
- 1 cup water (to knead stiff dough)
Ingredients for the Filling:
- 1 cup semolina (suji/rava)
- ½ cup ghee
- ½ cup sugar
- 1½ cups milk
- 3 tbsp fresh milk cream (malai)
- ¼ cup desiccated coconut (or fresh grated coconut)
- 10-12 cashews
- 10-12 almonds
- 2 tbsp pistachios
- 2 tbsp raisins
- 5 green cardamoms (crushed)
Method:
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
- Mix flour and ghee well until it forms a crumbly texture.
- Gradually add water and knead into a stiff dough (not too soft).
- Cover and rest for 30 minutes.
Step 2: Prepare the Filling
- Heat 1 tbsp ghee, roast cashews, almonds, and pistachios until light golden (keep raisins aside). Crush once cool.
- In the same pan, roast coconut on low flame until fragrant. Set aside.
- Heat ½ cup ghee, add suji, and roast on low flame until golden brown.
- Add sugar and roast for 2 minutes (this step prevents sogginess).
- Add milk slowly, stir continuously until the mixture thickens.
- Add malai, crushed cardamom, roasted nuts, raisins, and coconut. Mix well.
- Cook until the stuffing turns dry and grainy like mawa. Let it cool.
Step 3: Shape the Gujiyas
- Divide the dough into equal portions, roll into small discs.
- Place 1-2 tbsp stuffing in the center.
- Fold into half-moon shape, seal edges with water, and trim excess. (You can use a gujiya mold for perfection).
Step 4: Fry the Gujiyas
- Heat oil/ghee on low flame.
- Fry gujiyas in batches on low heat until crisp and golden brown.
Your crispy, flaky, and delicious Suji Gujiya without Mawa is ready! Perfect for Holi or any festive occasion.
