sweet somethings - baked karanji (gujiya), easy rasmalai and banana nut muffins
That's baked karanji/gujiya. I took the crust recipe from here . I took 2 cups of all-purpose flour, salt, 3 tbsp ghee, 3 tbsp yogurt, a pinch of baking soda and water to get a tight dough as mentioned in the recipe. For the sweet filling, I melted jaggery and added dried grated coconut, cardamom powder, and some sugar too. It would be great if you can find the soft kind of jaggery. I baked it at 375 F as mentioned in the linked recipe. It turned out delicious for a low fat sweet. Anurag said the crust was like a biscuit. Maybe because it was crispy hard, which means, I had to cut up the karanji with a knife instead of being able to break it by hand. We got a lot of karanjis from the dough but we were still sad when they got over after a few days :) I had tried this easy rasmalai recipe on Diwali. Yes, that's a long time ago. I also made a lot of other stuff which is in the background. This baked ricotta cheese rasmalai is so tasty, that it's hard to believe you did...
