Gajn

Gajn is a traditional Indian sweet dish, originating from the state of Gujarat. It is a popular dessert, particularly during festivals and special occasions. The dish is made from a mixture of gram flour (besan), sugar, ghee, and cardamom. The ingredients are combined and cooked until a thick, smooth dough forms. This dough is then rolled into thin, flat sheets and cut into diamond or square shapes. These sheets are then fried in ghee until they become crispy and golden brown. Gajn is often garnished with chopped nuts and dried fruits for added flavor and texture. It is typically served warm, making it a delightful treat for those with a sweet tooth. The dish is not only enjoyed for its taste but also for its cultural significance, as it is a staple in many Gujarati households during festivals like Diwali and Navratri.
