Before you start
- Also called gujiya further north. The dough is short with ghee so the shell stays crisp rather than chewy.
- The filling must be cold before it goes in, or the seal opens in the oil.
Method
- Rub the 60g ghee into the flour until it clumps, then bring together with cold water into a firm dough. Rest 30 minutes.
- Roast the rava in 2 tbsp ghee until it smells nutty. Add the coconut and roast 2 minutes more.
- Take off the heat, stir in the khoya, sugar, cardamom, almonds and raisins, and cool completely.
- Roll small discs, place filling on one half, wet the rim and fold over. Press out any air and crimp firmly.Trapped air expands and bursts the seam. Press it out as you fold.
- Fry on medium-low until pale gold and blistered, about 5 minutes.Low and slow. High heat browns the shell before the pastry cooks through.
- Drain and cool completely.
Storage
Keeps 10 days in an airtight tin at room temperature. If you used khoya, refrigerate after 3 days.
