Trivia Tadka

The city of Jodhpur is known for its mawa kachoris. Stuffed with rich dry fruit and mawa (khoya), these crispy, deep-fried kachoris are coated in sugar syrup. Also known as gujjias, this sugary delight is a must-have during Holi, especially if you're in Rajasthan during the colourful festival.

Ingredients

  • Oil/ghee ((for frying) )

For dough

  • All-purpose flour (maida) (1 cup)
  • Baking powder (1/2 tsp)
  • Clarified butter (ghee) (2 tbps)
  • Milk (1/3 cup, approximately, for kneading)

For stuffing

  • Milk solids (khoya) (grated) (1 cup)
  • Sugar (3 tbps)
  • Mixed nuts (2 tbsp)
  • Green cardamom (elaichi) powder (1/4 tsp)

Method

  • In a large bowl, mix flour and baking powder.
  • Next, stir in ghee and add milk, little at a time, to make a stiff dough. Cover and let it rest for 20 mins.
  • Mix all ingredients given for stuffing.
  • Divide the dough and stuffing into equal portions, approximately 4–5 pedas (balls).
  • Roll out each peda of the dough into three-inch circles. Place the stuffing at the centre of the circle and pull the edges up to cover the filling. Seal the edges.
  • Flatten the kachori until the traditional kachori shape is acquired.
  • Repeat the same for the rest of the dough and stuffing.
  • Heat oil in a kadhai and deep fry the kachoris till they are brown in colour on both sides.
  • The crispy hot, mouth-watering mawa kachori is ready to be served!
