Today I am going to share one of my mom's recipe 'Rajasthani mawa Gujiya'with you.A recipe that reminds me of my family,A heriloom recipe that comes to me all the way traveling from my mom to me.It was a difficult choice because My mom is one of the finest cook ever,She adds some magic to the simplest of the preparation that leaves you with the exceptional taste forever and we usually go Gaga over everything she makes. Gujiya is common in north India and native to Rajasthan.....
.Gujiya is traditional sweet dumpling made with all purpose flour or wheat flour and stuffed with khoya or mawa.Gujiya's outer layer is crispy but the stuffing is very rich and sweet that's the reason it is made only during the festival Holi as well as Diwali or special occasion in Rajasthan. Actually festival without Gujiya feels incomplete and Different type of gujiyas are prepared on the festivals...
At my home festival is just an excuse to make these....festive time I miss home the most,The get together,the energy the enthusiasm in the air,variety of food....What I miss most is my mom made Gujiya...Soft crunchy,smell so heavenly and tastes much better when served hot....My belief that Moms are the best cook of the world because they don't only cook gourmet food but they make simple food to gourmet food andMy mom makes bestest Gujiya and this is her signature recipe I am sharing with you guys !!These can b little tricky to make but don't worry ,just follow the recipe and it will be sorted.....
