Khaja

Khaja is an Indian sweet which is pretty sweet and super delicious. This is a layered deep fried dough which is then dropped into sugar syrup to absorb the syrup. And it is super yummy delicious. It is available in every sweet stall where I come from in India. But here it is quite difficult to find. So finally I mustered up the courage to make it at home. And boy oh boy, I am happy about my decision.

The recipe is very easy to make and the end result is great. So go ahead...take a plunge and enjoy the results
