Baked Cranberry Gujiya - Holi special


 Baked Cranberry-Coconut-Jaggery wholewheat Gujiyas🎊🎉


Happy Holi to everyone celebrating!! These baked Karanjis became our delicious holi treat. I thought of stuffing them with something different. I had these dried cranberries in my Fridge. So I came up with this idea of dried cranberries, jaggery, and desiccated coconuts along with some thandai powder. They were super delicious crispy and gone in no time.!!😅



Recipe: (Makes 10-12 gujiyas)


↪Making the whole wheat dough: 


Take 1 cup whole wheat flour, 2 tbsp ghee, 1 tsp coconut sugar, 1/4 tsp salt. Make a stiff dough using warm water as required. Keep aside.

↪Making the stuffing:


In a blender, add 1/3 cup dried cranberries, 3/4 cup Jaggery powder, 3/4 cup dedicated coconut 1 tbsp homemade thandai powder, 1/2tbsp cardamom powder. Blend into a sticky paste. Keep aside.


↪Preheat Oven at 390 degrees F 


↪ On parchment paper, Roll a small portion of the dough into a big circle. Using a large cookie cutter, cut out the circles, place a lemon-sized stuffing in the center, apply some water on the edges. Fold and shape them into gujiyas. Continue with the remaining dough and make gujiyas. Place them on a baking tray.


↪Bake them for 20-25 minutes till they turn light brown.


Keep them inside for 5 more minutes for crispier karanjis.

Eggless Brazilian Cheese Bread

Pao de Queijo (pronounced as pown -deh- kay-zho) aka Brazilian Cheese Bread is a small baked cheese bun, a popular snack and breakfast food that originated in the state Minas Gerais of Brazil. These are bread/buns usually made with tapioca flour, milk, oil, cheese, salt, and egg/egg substitute. Since I don't use eggs in my baking I have used vinegar instead. These are soft, chewy and so addictive. I love to make healthy bakes from all around the world. Inspired by this YouTube video by Something Dave and I gave it a try as it was an eggless version.These came out so well. These are super simple and easy to make with just five ingredients. A must try because they are gluten-free, contain no yeast, no baking powder, yet so soft and cheesy😋 I had never tried baking with tapioca flour...and found it so interesting to bake with. The dough is too sticky and you will need some extra flour to be dusted to make balls out of it. I have used plant-based pa...
