Nimki/Namak Para and Gujiya




Holi Special
Holi is the time for sweets and celebration.I have fond memories of my mom and my grandma making gujiyas at this time of the year.So this time we tried making a few using my Grandma's recipe.

Gujiya:
Ingredients:
Ghee 1 cup
Rawa 1/2 cup
Maida(Refined flour) 6 cups
Mawa 2 cups
Dry Fruits 1/2 cup chopped
Sugar 3 tbsp
Water for making the dough

Method:
1.Make a dough with the maida,rawa,ghee and water.The dough should be a stiff dough like for puris.
2.Let the dough rest for 20mins.
3.Meanwhile prepare the stuffing.Dry roast the dry fruits.In a kadhai add sugar and mawa and on slow heat mix the two together.Being careful so that the mawa doesnt burn.Add the dry fruits and let it cool a little.
4.Make small puris with the dough,fill the stuffing and then deep fry.

Nimki
1.The ingredients for the dough are same as above with the addition of a little salt.
2.Roll out the dough to make a thin roti.Cut out diamond shapes and deep fry.
This is a great snack with tea :)
