Festive Bites <br /> Final Assembly: Roll each dough ball into a 12 inch circle. Start with the white rolled circle, <br /> apply a thin layer of layering paste. Put the pink circle on top of the white and apply a thin layer <br /> of paste on it. Lastly layer the yellow circle and apply remaining rice paste to it. Roll the three <br /> layers tightly to form a long roll. Cut the roll into equal size discs. For each disc, press the outer <br /> white edge forward so that the outermost layer is on the top/front with the layers overlapping <br /> each other and the disc forming an oval shape. Roll each disc into a circle. Put the filling in the <br /> center. Apply little milk on edges using your finger and then fold the circle over to form a <br /> semi-circle with the edges sealing the filling inside. Once it is sealed firmly, using a fork press <br /> the ends to form a nice pattern or the edges can also be folded into small pleats. Continue to roll <br /> and fill the rest of the discs. We can also use dumpling mold. <br /> Cooking: Heat oil for deep frying in a pan. Lift the empanada gently and slide into the hot oil. <br /> Fry 3 to 4 of them at a time. Fry them till light golden. <br /> 7.2 Coconut and Dry Fruit filled Empanadas (Dry Fruit Karanji/Gujia <br /> Ingredients: Dough: All purpose flour, milk, Butter, salt <br /> Filling: Coconut Powder, coarse ground write sesame, almonds, cashew, golden raisins, <br /> powdered sugar, nutmeg powder, cardamom powder, Butter, Oil for frying <br /> Method: For the filling: Heat Butter in a small frying pan. Add the desiccated coconut and <br /> saute stirring often till the coconut turns golden. Remove the coconut and keep aside-in the <br /> same pan, add coarse ground sesame and roast till they pop and change color. Keep aside. In <br /> a dry grinder or coffee grinder, grind the almonds, cashews, raisins to a semi fine powder. Add <br /> this dry fruit powder to the coarse ground sesame and coconut mixture. Add powdered sugar, <br /> nutmeg powder and cardamom powder. Mix everything well and keep the stuffing aside. <br /> For the Dough: Heat the Butter until warm. In a bowl take the flour.

Cover the dough with a moist kitchen towel and keep aside for 15 to 20 mins. <br /> Final Assembly: Divide the dough into two parts. Roll each part into a log. Distribute them in <br /> equal balls. With a rolling pin on a dusted board, roll the dough round in a 4 to 5 inches diameter <br /> circle. Place a tbsp or 2 to 3 tsp of the stuffing in the center or on one side of the circle, keeping <br /> the edges empty. With your fingertips, apply water all over the circumference edge. Gently bring <br /> together both the edges and join. Gently press the edges. Now with your fingertips, start <br /> pinching the pressed edges. Make all empanadas this way or we can use a dumpling mould. <br /> Keep them covered with a moist kitchen towel, so that the dough does not dry out. <br /> Cooking: Heat oil for deep frying in a pan.
