Dry Fruit Karanji Stuffing

Dry Fruit Karanji Stuffing in Marathi

Yield: approx 2 cups
Time: 50 minutes

bake karanji, dry fruit karanji, khobaryachya karanjya, diwali faral, Ingredients:
3/4 cup Fine Semolina
1/2 cup Khoya, nicely roasted
1/2 tsp Cardamom Powder
5 tbsp Sugar
3 tsp Ghee
1/2 to 3/4 cup Dry fruits. I used ::::
2 tbsp Chirounji
7-8 Cashew Nuts, chopped
7-8 Almonds, thin slices
Dates 6 to 7, deseeded and finely chopped (I used pitted dates)
Dried Date 5 to 6, deseeded and finely chopped
1/4 cup dried coconut, roasted
2 tsp Poppy Seeds, roasted

Method:
1) Heat 2 tsp ghee into a pan, add chirounji, cashew-nuts, Almonds, dried dates. Roast over medium heat for about 5 to 8 minutes. Do not add dates along with the other dry fruits. Add it 2 minutes before removing from the heat.
2) Heat 1 tsp Ghee in a pan. Add Semolina and roast over medium-low heat until it gets nice pink color. Do not roast over high or medium high heat. If you roast semolina over high heat, it will turn brown soon, but it won't be roasted properly. Under-roasted semolina will give raw taste of semolina. Once semolina is done, transfer to a plate.
3) Mix roasted coconut, poppy seeds, roasted dried fruits, roasted khoya, roasted semolina and cardamom powder. Rub gently and mix all nicely. Especially mix khoya nicely. Add sugar to taste. (Note)

Note:
1) Instead of sugar you can increase quantity of dates to give sweetness.
2) Add any kind of dry fruits which are available like unsalted pistachios, Walnuts, raisins etc.
