Ghary

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup ghee, plus extra for frying
• 1 cup khoya (reduced milk solids)
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tbsp chopped nuts (almonds, pistachios)
• 1/4 tsp cardamom powder
• A few saffron strands, milk as needed

Method

1. Knead a firm dough with flour, ghee and water; rest 30 minutes.
2. Lightly roast the khoya until fragrant, then mix with powdered sugar, chopped nuts, cardamom and saffron for the filling.
3. Roll a portion of dough into a small disc, place a spoonful of filling in the centre, gather the edges and seal into a stuffed ball, then flatten gently.
4. Deep fry on low-medium heat until golden all over.
5. Drain, cool slightly, and serve traditionally with a drizzle of warm ghee.
