1 1/2 cups milk
1 tbsp poppy seeds
chopped almonds
raisins
salt
oil
½ cardamom powder
Method- :
First, prepare a dough, then mix salt, maida and ghee in a bowl. Add warm milk and salt to make a smooth dough.
For stuffing, cook the coconut, sugar, milk, chopped almonds and raisins, cardamom powder and poppy seeds in milk. Boil till the milk evaporates.
Divide the dough and make flat round pancakes. Add the stuffing in middle and close the corners. After stuffing all the gujias or karanji, heat oil in a frying pan.
Fry the karanjis for 2-3 minutes till the colour becomes golden brown.
Take it out and place it on a tissue paper to avoid having extra oil. Let it cool.
Your Karanji is ready to eat.
