Baked Mawa Gujiya with Condensed Milk Glaze

Festive special Baked Mawa Gujiya with condensed milk glaze is a no stove top recipe and is so easy to make!

Baked Mawa Gujiya

For the alphabet “G,” I am going to share a baked recipe from India. It’s the festive special Gujiya.  It’s the traditional gujiya prepared in the microwave and conventional oven.  I made the inner filling with milk powder, nuts, and condensed milk.  The condensed milk glaze adds shine to this baked gujiyas which in turn makes it more inviting and decadent and you won’t even feel that it’s baked.

During Holi, I prepared this recipe for the Toka Box. (formerly known as IMC’s treasure box). Please check the new avatar of IMC’s Treasure Box. :-) The recipes that go as a part of Toka box are all kids friendly recipes, and also you can get them involved in cooking with these recipes. I kept the steps simple and used a microwave and conventional oven to prepare this recipe. So it’s a no-stove recipe. Also, I used the store bought milk powder to make the filling which makes it semi-home made recipes and it makes it easy for the kids to handle too.

Initially, I was not planning to post this on my blog, but we loved this recipe so much so that I had to prepare it more than twice after holi. I was a bit skeptical if I can post this for the ABC bakes. But I am glad I asked Valli. Well, I completely forgot the rule that I cannot repeat the dishes from the same country more than twice.

So, when I was asking her about this recipe, she reminded me the rules. I happily selected more than two recipes from the same country. But I had to change my recipe list again, and now I have few more dishes to bake. I hope I can manage. I don’t think I can do a mega marathon without drama. :-) Anyways thanks to this Gujiya Recipe.

• Spread the edges of the rolled dough with water using your fingertips.
• Take about 1 tbsp of the prepared mawa filling and place it in the center.
• Carefully bring the edges together and press the edges and form like a semi-circle. Make sure the edges are sealed properly. Using a fork, press the edges to create the striped pattern.

Notes:

• Do not add any additional water while preparing the dough.
• Adjust the condensed milk quantity as per your sweet preferences.
• Also, add nuts/raisins of your choice.
• Glazing is entirely optional.
