About Karanji

Karanji Recipe

Karanji is a festive Maharashtrian crescent pastry filled with coconut, jaggery or sugar, poppy seeds and cardamom.

Why this recipe works

  • The filling should be moist but not wet.
  • Seal edges firmly so karanji does not open while frying.
  • Medium heat keeps the shell crisp without darkening too fast.

Serving idea

Serve as a festive sweet for Diwali, Ganesh Chaturthi or tea-time.
