Kajjikayalu

Kajjikayalu, also known as Karanji or Gujiya in different regions, is a delightful and festive sweet treat originating from South India. These crescent-shaped, deep-fried pastries are a popular choice during special occasions, celebrations, and festivals, celebrated for their crispy exterior and sweet, flavorful stuffing. The outer layer of Kajjikayalu is typically made with a dough composed of all-purpose flour or a combination of all-purpose and semolina flour. The dough is rolled out into small circles, creating a thin yet sturdy casing for the sweet filling. The sweet filling, which is the highlight of Kajjikayalu, often consists of a mixture of grated coconut, jaggery (unrefined sugar), roasted chana dal (split chickpeas), and a blend of aromatic spices such as cardamom and nutmeg. This combination of ingredients imparts a rich, nutty flavor with a hint of sweetness and spice.
