Ghiye Ka Lauj

Hello Friendz....

As we all know that the Ganpati Festivals goes on for 11 days. So , just to help you all for everyday new ideas for nevdhya.. Today I have Ghiya Lauj for you all.. Ghiya lauj is nothing but a very tasty , soft and ghiya/lauki ki barfi...

You don't need many ingredients for it , but it is really very tasty...



Ingredients :

1). Ghiya/Lauki : 1/2 Kg Grated    
        
2). Sugar : 400 gms

3). Khoya/Mawa : 300 gms

4). Elaichi : 4-5 Powdered


Procedure :

1). Take a kadhai and add the grated ghiya and sugar in it.



2). Let the mixture boil , till the sugar dissolves completely. The Ghiya will also leave lots of water , so there is no need to add extra water.



3). The mixture will boil and after few minutes of constant boil , it will start to thicken a bit. Let it boil till it has sugar syrup has turned approx to ded se 2 tar ki chanshni. Add the khoya in it. ( I always prefer and use homemade khoya for this.)



4). Mix khoya well with the sugar syrup and ghiya properly. Add Elaichi powder and let this mixture also thicken up.


5). See , now there is a tip and a trick. Put a drop of this mix on a plate. Once the drop cools , turn the plate upside down. It the drop remains at the same place and even does not falls down , that means your barfi mixture is ready , else needs some more heating. 

6). Keep a liberally ghee greased tray ready with you so that the moment your mixture is ready , you can put it on the tray boiling hot. ( Please everyone , be careful while doing this step , take the help of someone to avoid any mishap as the mix is very hot and you can hurt yourself , if done anything carelessly)


7). Put the hot mix on the tray , and try to shape it with the help of a ghee greased spatula.



8). Once it cools down , and set properly , you and cut down in small pieces and store in air tight container in the freezer/freeze to make it last long. It can stay in freezer , and used upto 15-20 days. But do not use it later than a period of 3 weeks.
