Gujia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Ingredients

Gujia (also called Gujhia) is a cuisine of Uttar Pradesh.

The packaging of a gujhia is very much like that of a samosa, however the gujhia has a very distinct shape. The gujhia is filled with a mixture of grated and roasted dry fruits, Khoya (the solid mass remaining after milk has been heated for a very long time and when all the water has evaporated from it, similar to milk powder), coconuts and to add a grainy texture, a little suji (coarse ground rice flour).

It is usually made on the occasion of Holi, the Hindu festival of colors.
