healthy gujia recipe baked with semolina and dates paste |
I have seen my Bengali aunt make holi special gujia multiple times. But I never tried making it at home. I do not know what was stopping me until now to taste or try out gujia. But when the health bug bites you and you ditch all healthy stuff and cooking processes, you want to experiment. You do not hesitate to give healthy colors to traditional snacks that were once maida-fied and deep-fried. Here's to holi this year. Here's to no maida gujiya this year. Here's to sugar-free gujiya. But hey, this healthy baked gujia recipe, which is vegan, uses dates as sweetener, so it is surely not a diabetes-friendly gujia.
Baked Gujiya in a new avatar with sooji/semolina
EASIEST LAST-MINUTE Recipe (off color but the best ever)
No added sugar
No, I have never baked or fried gujiya ever. In my first attempt to recreate the holi - special indian snack recipe, I dared to go against the rules of the traditional cookbook once again. Perhaps when I wear the apron, the unconventional baker in me takes over and the rest is before you always. I often wonder if I should be naming my recipes by what our grandmoms used to call them. Or do I need not dare to say I have recreated so and so...should I christen my cookbook recipes under new names?
Magic is what you cook or bake..magic lies in pleasing your inner soul..magic lies in recreating foods that generations have been relishing without feeling guilty. Yes, you ought to please your inner self. In doing so, let you not be scared by rewriting recipes.
The world won't change if you present a traditional recipe in a new avatar.
So feed your own soul. Be happy and content with what you do.
Let others keep judging.
Logo ka kaam hai kehna

How long does Gujiya last?
This healthy semolina gujia was finished on day 5 and stayed good until then. It may stay good longer. I have not tried keeping it longer because I bake small batches always
