1. Gujiya Recipe

Gujiya is a classic Indian Holi recipe, especially popular during festivals like Holi. With a crispy outer shell and a rich, sweet filling of khoya and dry fruits, it’s a treat that brings back memories of celebrations and family gatherings. Here’s a simple Gujiya recipe to make at home using Fortune products for a perfect festive delight.

Ingredients

• 2 cups – Fortune Maida
• ¼ cup – Fortune Soya Health Oil (for moyan)
• As required – Water (to knead the dough)
• For frying – Fortune Fortune Soya Health Oil
• 1 cup – Khoya (mawa)
• ½ cup – Fortune sugar
• 2 tablespoons – Raisins
• 2 tablespoons – Cashews (chopped)
• 2 tablespoons – Almonds (chopped)
• 2 tablespoons – Desiccated coconut
• 1 teaspoon Cardamom powder

These ingredients come together to create a delightful Holi snack that is crispy on the outside and richly filled on the inside.

Recipe:

Prepare the Dough:

• In a bowl, mix 2 cups of maida with ¼ cup of Oil. Rub the oil into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs.
• Gradually add water and knead into a firm dough. Cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Make the Filling:

• Crumble the khoya and roast it in a pan on low heat until it turns light golden. Transfer to a bowl and let it cool.
• Mix in powdered sugar, raisins, cashews, almonds, desiccated coconut, and cardamom powder. Combine well.

Roll the Dough:

• Divide the dough into small balls. Roll each ball into a thin circle.
• Place a spoonful of the filling in the center.

Seal the Gujiya:

• Take a small bowl of water and mix 2 spoonfuls of maida. This will act as glue to keep the folds of our tasty Gujiya together.
• Apply the flour paste on the edges. Fold to form a semi-circle and press the edges to seal. Use a fork to create a design along the edges.

Fry the Gujiya:

• Heat Fortune Soya Health Oil in a pan. Fry the gujiyas on medium heat until they turn golden and crisp.
• Drain excess oil on paper towels.

Serve:

• Let the gujiyas cool completely before serving or storing them in an airtight container.

These festive gujiyas, with their crisp shell and sweet fillings, are perfect for celebrations or just to satisfy your sweet cravings. Serve them with a warm glass of milk or a cup of chai for a wholesome treat.

Tip: Ensure the dough is firm to prevent the gujiyas from breaking during frying. For a better taste, dip the Gujiyas in sugary syrup.

Disclaimer: Once dipped in sugary syrup, these gujiyas might disappear faster than you can say “Happy Holi!” — share at your own risk!

Nothing fuels the fun better than a plate of hot, crispy pyaaz pakodas paired with a cup of chai. These golden fritters, spiced and fried to perfection, make for an irresistible holi snack.

Ingredients

• 2 cups – Onions (thinly sliced)
• 1 cup – Fortune Besan
• 2 tablespoons – Rice flour (for extra crispiness)

• A pinch of baking soda (optional for fluffiness)
• 2-3 tablespoons – Water (adjust as needed)

Recipe:

1. Prepare Onions:
   • Thinly slice 2 cups of onions and add them to a bowl. Add salt, red chill & turmeric powder and mix well. Set aside for 10 minutes, this helps the onions release moisture.
2. Make the Batter:
   • To the onions, add besan, rice flour, ginger, green chilies, red chili powder, turmeric, carom seeds, and coriander leaves. Mix thoroughly.
   • The moisture from the onions is usually enough, but if needed, add 2-3 tablespoons of water gradually to bind everything. The batter should be thick and not too watery.
   • For extra fluffiness, you can add a pinch of baking soda.
3. Heat the Oil:
   • In a deep frying pan, heat oil on medium heat. To test if the oil is ready, drop a small bit of batter; it should sizzle and rise slowly.
4. Fry the Pakodas:
   • Take small portions of the batter and drop them gently into the hot oil without overcrowding the pan.
   • Fry on medium heat until the pakodas turn golden and crisp, turning occasionally. This ensures they cook evenly from the inside.
5. Serve Hot:
   • Sprinkle a bit of chaat masala for an extra zing and serve these crispy onion pakodas hot with green chutney or ketchup.
     

Tip: For the perfect crunch, always fry on medium heat and avoid adding too much water to the batter. Serving them with a piping hot cup of chai enhances the experience.
