Khaja is an Indian Sweet that is very popular all across Eastern India.
Khaja is a crispy, crunchy layered sweet that is coated with a sugar syrup. Because the khaja has a long shelf life, and would not spoil for months, traditionally, khaja was also used for gifting at weddings and also used to carried along during journeys.
Khaja is also offered as a prasad at many places, be it the Jagganath Temple in Puri, or the Gorakhnath temple in Gorakhpur. It is also a must during festivals in Bihar and Bengal.
In some places, khaja is made square shaped, in som places, it is quite large in size and round, much like a poori and in some places, it is spindle shaped too.
Khaja is also known as Chirote.

Serves: 4-5
Ingredients:
For Dough:
2 cups flour
1/2 cup Ghee
Water as required
For Paste:
3 tbsp Ghee
3 tbsp flour
For Sugar Syrup:
1 cup Sugar
½ cup Water
Few drops Lemon juice
For garnish:
1 tsp cardamom powder

Method:
For Sugar Syrup:
Take the sugar and water in a pan. Bring it to a boil and add the lemon juice. Simmer the syrup for 7-8 minutes till a syrup of 1 string consistency is obtained.
For Paste, mix Ghee & All Purpose Flour & make a paste.
Take the Flour in a bowl and add the ghee. Rub the ghee well into the flour till you have a mixture of crumbly texture. Add a little water at a time and knead a dough of stiff consistency.
Divide the dough into 6 equal sized balls. Roll out each ball into a large thin chappati.
Apply paste on 1 Chapati then put another Chapati on it & apply paste on it as well. In the same way join 6 Chapatis together then make a roll.
Cut their ends & cut the roll inot ½” thick pieces.
Heat about 2” oil in a pan to medium hot. Press the pieces slightly & fry them in the medium hot Oil. Reduce the heat after adding the khaja and fry them till the bubbling is reduced and the khaja is pink in colour.
Remove the khaja and cool slightly.
Soak the fried Khaja in the lukewarm Sugar Syrup for about 2 minutes and remove. Sprinkle cardamom powder and the pistachio slices over it. Cool completely till the syrup solidifies over the Khaja. Store in an airtight container.
