Ingredients: 2 cups fresh grated Coconut 1 tsp Cardamom Powder 1/2 cup Sugar 250 gms Maida 1/4 cup Ghee Salt as per taste Water Oil for Frying Directions: 1. In a pan, heat about a tablespoon of ghee. Add the grated coconut and sugar to it and roast it for about 2-3 minutes on a medium flame. 2. Switch off the flame and add the cardamom powder to it and mix well. Keep the mixture aside to cool. 3. Meanwhile, take maida in a large mixing bowl. Add salt and the remaining ghee to it and mix it really well until you get a crumbly texture. 4. Add water gradually and knead it into a medium soft dough. Give the dough a rest of about 15-20 mins. 5. Now make small balls out of the dough. Take one and start rolling it out to the size of a puri. Use dry flour to help you with the rolling. 6. Apply water to half the circle and add about a heaped spoon of the filling mixture towards one side. Fold over into a semi-circle and seal the edges properly. Trim the edges with the help of a cutter. Work the same way with the remaining dough and filling mixture. 7. Heat enough oil in a kadhai. On a medium-low flame, slide the karanji or gujiya in the hot oil and fry till very light golden brown on both the sides. It should only take about a minute to fry on both the sides. 8. Drain excess oil and remove on an absorbent paper. Serve the fresh coconut karanji the same day you make them.
