Jowar Flour Gujiya - no maida, no oil!

30 minutes
40 minutes
3 servings
Gujiya is a must-have during the Holi festival in most North Indian homes. Traditionally made with maida and deep-fried in oil. Here is an attempt to make a healthier and less sinful way to indulge in this delicacy. It was inspired by recipes found from other health websites and recipes of gluten-free flours.
Ingredients
- Jowar flour: 1. 25 cup
- Flax seeds powder: ¼ cup
- Rock salt: 1 big pinch
- Water: 1.5 cups
For the filling
- Cashew nuts: 10-12
- Peanuts: 2 tbsp (roasted)
- Sesame seeds: 2 tbsp (roasted)
- Poppy seeds: 1 tbsp (roasted)
- Fried gram/ roasted chana: 4 tbsp
- Jaggery powder: ½ cup
- Water: 1/8 cup
- Elaichi: 1 pod (powdered)
Method
- Powder cashew nuts, fried gram/ roasted chana, roasted sesame seeds, roasted peanuts, and elaichi powder until coarse.
- In a pan melt jaggery with water until slightly thick.
- Add the powdered mix and cook until you have a soft mixture.
- Stir in the roasted poppy seeds and allow it to cool.
- To make the gujiya casing, mix flax seeds powder with jowar flour.
- Boil water, reduce the flame and add salt and the jowar flour and flax powder mix stirring continuously.
- Cook for a couple of minutes until you see it come together into a dough.
- Remove from flame and leave covered for 5-10 minutes.
- Knead the dough well to smoothen it.
- Make even sized balls.
- Roll the dough into small puris.
- Place a spoon of filling in on half of the rolled dough and fold the other half over.
- Press the edges with a fork to get seal the edges.
- Repeat the same for the rest of the dough.
- Preheat oven to 160° C.
- Place the shaped gujiyas on a greased tray and bake for around 30 minutes. Turn around and bake for another 10 minutes.
- Cool and store in airtight containers.
Wellcure tip:
- Once the dough is ready keep it covered with a wet cloth to prevent dough from drying up.
- If the dough cracks on rolling add some warm water.
- If the dough is sticky add little flour.
- Fried gram is also known as daliya or chutney chana or roasted chana.
Eating guide:
- Food group: millets and nuts
- Millets are gluten-free, rich in fiber and high on nutritional value. They are a good option to add variety to your meals or when you want to go grain-free.
- Replace them in recipes that call for rice or wheat
- Nuts provided healthy fats.
