Healthy baked sugar free Gujiya recipe | Healthy Karanji | गुजिया रेसिपी

This healthier version of Gujiya you will surely gona love. Yes these are baked sugar free Gujiyas .Unlike the other baked Gujiya recipe on the internet this recipe will help you to get soft, melt in mouth, delicious Gujiyas even without frying or sugar syrup. The recipe is developed to keep in mind that it would not result in that hard Gujiyas that neither good in texture nor in taste. If you follow the proportion and method correctly you will get the perfectly soft outer covering.

Gujiya is traditionally made during the festive season in India and is one of the most popular sweets of India. Traditionally the Gujiyas are deep fried and sometimes dipped in sugar syrup too. as we are going to bake these here I made the dough accordingly and it is tried and tested many times.

The filling is also different from the traditional one to make it more tastier and healthier. Even though I did not use khoya(mava)still these are soft and moist inside by the natural moisture present in jaggery which melts while baking and so giving these wonderfully great texture and taste. Though you can use khoya if you wish, but these ones are equally delicious and have better self life.

So lets begin with the recipe…
