Baked Multi grain Karanji (Serves 2)

Ingredients:

For outer layer

• 1 1/2 Cup Multi Grain Flour
• 10 Grams Ghee
• 1/8 teaspoon Salt

For Filling

• 1/8th Cup Almonds, Coarsely Powdered
• 1/8th Cup Pistas, Coarsely Powdered
• 1/8th Cup Raisins, Cut into halves
• 1 Teaspoon Cardamom Powder, Freshly powdered
• 1 Teaspoon Flaxseeds
• 1 Teaspoon Pumpkin Seeds

Recipe:

• Preheat the oven to 180 degree Celsius
• Combine the Flour, Ghee and salt in a bowl, mix it until the mixture resembles a coarse meal
• Sprinkle water onto the crumbly dough and with your hands push the dough from the sides to the middle of the bowl to form a ball that holds together and is smooth
• Be careful to add only a little water at a time, and not allowing the dough to become soggy. Knead well with your hands until the dough becomes into a firm ball of smooth dough
• Cover the dough and allow it to rest for an hour
• Combine all the ingredients for the filling until all the ingredients hold together. Divide the filling mixture into 2 equal portions. Divide the dough into 2 equal portions as well
• Keep a small bowl filled with water by the side. On a floured surface roll each portion of the dough into a 3-inch diameter circle
• Place a teaspoon full of filling mixture onto one-half of the circle. Wet your fingers into the bowl of water and spread a little water around the edges of the circle
• Gently fold the circle into a semi-circle, forming a half moon shape. Seal the edges by pressing slightly, so that the dough sticks to each other making sure the entire filling is still concealed inside
• Decorate the edges by twisting the dough portion carefully to form a twisted shape. Continue the same procedure with the other dough and filling portion
• Arrange the filled Gujiyas/Ghughras on a baking sheet and place it in the preheated oven.  Bake the Gujiyas in the oven until it is browned evenly on all sides
• Half way through turn them around so they get browned on all sides. This process can take about 20 to 30 minutes
• Serve these delicious and Healthy Baked Multi grain Karanjis
