    निशा: गरी आपने कभी कागज में कुछ चीज रख कर पुड़िया बनाई है क्या ? बस बिलकुल उसी तरह किनारे से मोड़ते जाइये, प्रैक्टिस करने से आप ये अवश्य बना लेंगी.

    thanks,nishaji pl answer these-1. can we use oil insted of ghee fr fring 2.quantity of oil for frying
    निशा: इंदरा,तेल भी प्रयोग में लाया जा सकता है लेकिन घी के स्वाद की अलग बात है. तलने के लिये लगभग 400 ग्राम(2 कप तेल ले लीजिये)

    This recipe in EnglishChandrakala is an important sweet meat made fir Holi just like Gujhiya. You can make this sweet meat for Holi and give it to your family and guests. It tastes awesome and you will feel like having it again and again..In the way Chashni is coated on Mava Karanji and Gujhiya. Similary a coating of Chashni is formed on Chandrakala Gujhiya. The ingredients are quite similar but the preparation process is a bit different. During the occasion of Holi or Diwali one can find Gujhiya in almost all sweet shops but it is very hard to find Chandrakala even in big shops. But if you work a little hard Chandrakala Gujhiya can be made at home itself. So let us prepare Chandrakala at home this Holi.- Ingredient of Chandrakala GujhiyaStuffing for Chandrakala (kasar)Mawa(dried milk) - 200 grams (1 cup)Suji(semolina) - 50grams (1/4 cup)Ghee - 2 tbspPowdered sugar/Bhura - 200 grams (1 cup)Cashew nuts - 20 to 25 (cut 1 nut into 6-7 pieces)Raisins - 50 to 60 (remove stems)Elaichi(cardamom) - 6 to 7 (peel and grind to make fine powder)Dry Coconut - 50 grams (1/4 cup,grated)Chironji - 2 tbsp (clean them)To prepare dough for ChandrakalaFlour(maida) - 500 grams ( 2 1/2 cup)Ghee - 125 grams (3/4 cup)Ghee - to fry GujhiyaSugar - 500 grams( 2 1/2 cup) for Chashni- How to make Chandrakala GhujhiyaLet us prepare the Kasar to be filled in the Chandrakala.-How to make filling for Chandrakala GujhiyaFry Mawa in a heavy based utensil till it turns brown(if Mawa is fried properly, Chadrakala last for much long). Take out fried Mawa in a utensil and let it cool.Put Ghee in a frying pan(kadhai), put Suji in Ghee and fry till it turns pink.Put fried Mawa in fried Suji along with powdered sugar/Bhura, cashew nuts, raisins, Elaichi coconut and Chironji. Mix all the ingredients properly. Stuffing required to fill inside Chandrakala is ready..Prepare dough for ChandrakalaFilter the flour and keep in a utensil. Melt Ghee, put it in the flour then mix properly with your hand. Knead a hard dough(similar to puri) using warm water, cover the dough with a wet cloth and keep aside for 30 minutes. Dough is ready to make Chandrakala.After half an hour press the dough to make it soft, break small pieces of the dough(around 30-40 pieces). If you make 40-50 pieces then 20-25 Chandrakalas can be made out of those. Take one dough piece, roll it like a Puri with a diameter of 2-3 inches. This Puri should be a bit thick but it should be kept thin while preparing other Gujhiyas. Roll 10 Puris of this same size and keep on a plate.Pick 1 Puri from the plate, keep it on your palm(Puris lower surface should be faced upwards). Now place 2 tsp Kasar on the Puri,apply water on the edges then place another Puri on top. Press the edges and close the stuffing in between the 2 Puris. Twist the edges, you need to practice how to twist, Place this Chandrakalas on a plate or cloth. Similarly prepare 5 Chandrakalas with the 10 Puris, cover them with a cloth to prevent them from drying as it takes time to prepare all of them(you can use a washed sheet for this. Now roll 10 more Puris and make 5 Chandrakalas with them then cover them all.All your Chandrakalas are made, they are ready to be fried. You can take a 15 minute break if you want.Fry ChandrakalaHeat oil in a heavy based frying pan(kadhai), put 4 or as many Chandrakalas that can be fried in the Ghee(in the pan). Fry them till they turn brown on a low flame, take out the fried Chandrakalas. All of our Chandrakalas have been fried, we only have to coat them with Chashni.Allow Chandrakalas to cool, till then let us prepare the Chashni.Prepare ChashniPut 500 grams sugar in any utensil then add 250 grams of water to it. Stir the sugar a bit so that it mixes with water. Cook Chashni till it comes to boil, then cook for 5-6 minutes.Pour one drop of Chashni in a bowl and after it cools off place it on your finger. Now try to stick the drop between your thumb and index finger. While separating the fingers 2 thread looking substances should come out of Chashni. Turn off the gas, Chashni is ready.Coat Chandrakala with Chashni1. Dip Chadrakala in the Chashni, take it out with a ladle and keep in another plate. Similalr dip another Chandrakala, dip all Chandrakalas in Chashni and take them out. Keep Chandrakalas separated from each other, leave them in open air for 1 hour then turn them over and leave for another 1 hour. Your Chandrakala is ready, you can see they llok so pretty.Eat these fresh Chandrakalas and also offer them to the guests at your place. Fill the remaining Chandrakalas in an air-tight container, take them out whenever you want to eat. These Chandrakalas stay fresh up to 15 or more days.

    नमस्कार
    निशाजी होली कैसी रही. आप बहुत मोके पर रेसिपी बताती है , इसके लिए धन्यवाद. हम होली पर चंद्रकला गुझिया नहीं बना पाए पर फिर कभी जरुर बनायेगे और अपने अनुभव आपके साथ शेयर करेंगे. बहुत दिन से मैं सोच रही हु कि आपने बहुत सी पेय रेसिपी साईट पर दी हुई है, पर मैं आपसे गुजारिश करती हु कि प्लीज जो बहुत कॉमन पेय (चाय व कोफी) है, भी जरुर बनाना सिखाये, हालाँकि ये सबको बनाने आते होंगे पर फिर भी .......मुझे लगता है, ये आपके साईट पर होने चाहिए. अगर सुझाव अच्छा लगा तो मुझे बहुत ख़ुशी होगी. धन्यवाद
    निशाजी.
    निशा:
    धन्यवाद शर्मिल, आपका सुझाव अच्छा है, मैं कोशिश करूंगी.

    Gujiya ki papdi soft kyn ho jati h

      Krishna जी, आटा ज्यादा सख्त या अधिक नरम नही होना चाहिए.गुजिया की पूरी थोड़ी मोटी बेलें और धीमी और मध्यम आंच पर ही गुजिया तलें. इन बातों का ध्यान रखें आपकी गुजिया बहुत अच्छी बन कर तैयार होगी.
