Ghujiya is a typical dish made during Holi. It is made out of white flour filled with a sweet filling of dry-fruits and khoya. It is the most cherished food item of the Holi festival.

People make it at home, but these days they are widely available in the market too. There are also many variations of Ghujiya. Dry Ghujiya and another one that is dipped in sugar syrup .

Churma is a very famous sweet of Rajasthan, being a Rajasthani I thought instead of making a very common recepi of Mawa Ghujiya, why not I make it differently.

So for a innovation I tried making Churma Gujiya and let me tell you it was mouth melting recepi.

Roll a  thick paratha of wheat dough & cook it on a pan using ghee. It should be properly cooked from both sides

Break the cooked paratha into small pieces to let it come down to normal temperature

In a mixture grind the paratha pieces in fine powder. It should not be grinded too much

Frying gujiyas & glazing with sugar syrup.On low flame in k adhai, keep ghee for frying.We don’t have to heat ghee a lot it should just melt.Flame should be low throughout for frying gujiyas.Add gujiyas to ghee & fry till they turn golden in color from both sides

 

Take out from ghee & add them to sugar syrup.I have just glazed them as they will become very sweet as filling also have sugar in it.If you like extra sweet can dip in sugar syrup for longer time 
For sugar syrup take 1/2 cup sugar & 1/3rd cup water, boil them together, if u wish add some saffron strands to the syrup. It should not be boiled too much, only the sugar should melt & syrup becomes sticky.Turnoff the flame & cover it with lid.
