Dahi Gujjiya
Advertisement
Dahi Gujjiya is a traditional recipe, no less, that is specially prepared for Holi. The stuffing consists of ginger, raisins, green chilis and coriander but one can also add nuts and coconut pieces to it. As one bites into it, the heat from the ginger and the green chilis forms a wonderful contrast with sweetness of the raisins, the coconut bits and the nuts. My husband loved it and so did I. And it can also be enjoyed on 'no onion no garlic days' . But it is not something i would recommend serving to kids.

- Take all the ingredients mentioned under 'For stuffing' in a mixing bowl. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and mix together.
- For the chutneys - Grind all the ingredients mentioned under 'Teehki chutney'. Adjust the consistency by adding water. Keep aside.
- For the meethi chutney, soak the tamarind in 1 1/2 cup hot water to obtain its pulp. Discard the solids. Take the pulp, jaggery, salt, asafoetida and pepper in a saucepan. Boil till it reduces to 2/3 rd. Keep aside till it cools down.
- Heat sufficient oil for deep frying. Take a thick plastic sheet or banana leaf. Spread a little oil over the surface.
- Put a dollop of the batter on the sheet. Wet fingers and pat gently to make a thick circle. Place a tsp of the stuffing in the center and fold the sheet/leaf to form a semi circle.
