Best ghujia in the world!!!

So, i found this recipe on youtube, by Manjula's kitchen. Thank you soooo very very much!!! This blog post is just a quick link to that recipe, in case you only want to look up the indredients.

For ge dough:
1 cup all purpose flour
1 tablespoon sooji (semolina)
2 tablespoon oil
1/3 cup lukeesrm water

For the filling:
1/2 cup whipping cream
1 cup milk powder
1/4 cup coconut powder
1/4 cup sliced almonds
1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder
2 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoon melon seeds
Optional: raisons

Make the batter first. It will form a nice sofft ball, cover it with a demp cloth and set aside while preparing the filling.
Mix the milk powder with the whippin cream and get to a boil. Let it come to a point where it looks like an autonomous life form, then add all the other ingredients, except the sugar. Once everything is well incorporated, get it off the flame, and add thr sugar. Set asige to cool.

Form small balls from thte dough. Flsten them out to about 1-1.5 mm thickness; try to keep it shaped as a round disk. Take the flattened out disk in your left hand's palm. With a spoon put some filling in the middle of it, en wrap the doough disk around it, by sealing edge to opposite edge. By pressing this seal harder in some places, you will get a very nice texture, just like the ghujias from the indian stores.

Fry the ghujias until golden brown, then soak them for a couple of minutes in sugar syrup. Drain the ghujia on a wire rack, and sprinkle coconut or pistacio powder on top.

Enjoy :)
